Note 6 — PART I.
Reading edition
Æneid, Bk. iv. l. 402.
"The beach is covered o'er With Trojan bands, that blacken all the shore: On every side are seen, descending down, Thick swarms of soldiers, loaden from the town, Thus, in battalia, march embodied ants, Fearful of winter, and of future wants,
"Ac velut ingentem formicæ farris acervum Quum populant, hiemis memores, tectoque reponunt: It nigrum campis agmen, prædamque per herbas Convectant calle angusto; pars grandia trudunt Obnixæ frumenta humeris; pars agmina cogunt, Castigantque moras; opere omnis semita fervet."
