Aeneas scolpulum interea conscendit, et omnem prospectum late pelago petit, Anthea si quem iactatum vento videat Phrygiasque biremes, aut Capyn aut celsis in puppibus arma Caici
Meanwhile, Aeneas climbs a rock, and seeks a complete view far and wide over the sea, In the hope that he may see Antheus, battered by the wind, and his Phrygian galleys, or Capys or the arms of Caicus on his lofty stern

navem in conspectu nullam, tres liter cervos prospicit errantes, hos tota armenta sequuntur a tergo et longum per valles pascitur agmen
He sees no ship in sight, but three stags wandering along the shore, The whole herd follows them from behind, and as a long line grazes in a valley
2 of 5
constitit hic arcumque manu celersque sagittas corripuit fidus quae tela gerebat Achates, ductoresque ipsos primum capita alta ferentes cornibus arboreis sternit,
He stopped and seized in his hand a bow and some swift-flying arrows, weapons which faithful Achates was carrying, and at once lays low the leaders themselves, carrying their heads high with branching antlers

tum vulgus et omnem miscet agens telis nemora inter frondea turbam
Then he throws into confusion the ordinary ones and all the rabble, driving them with his darts into the leafy forests.

nec prius absistit quam septem ingentia victor corpora fundat humi, et numerum cum navibus aequet
Nor does he desist until as victor he lays low on the ground seven large carcasses and matches their number with his ships
