Aeneid lines 1.715-22 (class translation)

That one, when he hung on the embrace and neck of Aeneas and filled the great love of his pretended father, seeks the queen. This one clings with her eyes, this one with her whole heart--Dido, unknowing how great a god has settled on the wretched woman--and meanwhile cherishes (him) on her lap. But that one, mindful of his Acidalian mother little by little begins to remove Sychaeus and tries to turn with living love already long since settled spirits and hearts unaccustomed (to love).
