Be quick with torches ! Give out arms ! Unship the oars !
What am I saying ? Where am I ? What madness
Takes me out of myself ? Dido , poor soul ,
Your evil doing has come home to you .
Then was the right time , when you offered him
A royal scepter . See the good faith and honor
Of one they say bears with him everywhere
The hearthgods of the country ! One who bore
His father , spent with age , upon his shoulders ! ( Robert Fitzgerald , 1981 )

ferte citi flammas , date tela , impellite remos !
quid loquor ? aut ubi sum ? quae mentem insania mutat ?
infelix Dido , nunc te facta impia tangunt ?
tum decuit , cum sceptra dabas . en dextra fidesque ,
quem secum patrios aiunt portare penatis ,
quem subiisse umeris confectum aetate parentem

Bring torches , spread your sails , Ply your oars !
What am I saying ? Where am I ? What madness
has turned awry what I had meant to do ?
Poor Dido , does his foulness touch you now ?
it should have then , when you gave him your scepter .
This is the right hand , this is the pledge of one
who carries with him , so they say , the household
of gods in his land , who bore upon his shoulders
his father weak with years .
