Aeneid lines 1.494-519

While these wondrous things are seen by Dardanian Aeneas, while he gapes and clings, fixed on one view, the queen, Dido, most beautiful in shape, approaches the temple with a great thronging crowd of youths. As Diana on the banks of the Eurota or through the ridges of the Cynthus trains her choruses, (around) whom a thousand following Oreads gather on this side and that; that one bears a quiver on her shoulder and proceeding towers above all the goddesses (joys possess the quiet heart of Latona): such was Dido, the joyful woman bore herself such, urging on the work and future kingdoms through the middle of the men. Then in the doors of the goddess, in the middle of the vault of the temple, she sits enclosed by weapons and resting on a throne loftily. She was giving orders and laws to men, and she was equalizing the labor of the works with fair shares or drawing by lot: when suddenly Aeneas sees Antheus and Sergestus and brave Cloanthus and other Teucrians approaching in a great crowd, whom a black storm had driven apart on the sea and had born away wholly to other shores. He himself at once stood agape, Achates at the same time astounded both by joy and by fear; eager to join right hands they burned, but the unknown situation perplexes their spirits. They keep themselves hidden (lit. they disguise) and watch wrapped in a hollow cloud what fortune the men have, on what shore they leave the fleet, why they come; for, chosen from all the ships, they were going, asking favor and seeking the temple with a clamor.
