“Ut prīmum ālātīs tetigit māgālia plantīs, Aenēān fundantem arcēs ac tēcta novantem cōnspicit. Atque illī stēllātus iaspide fulvā ēnsis erat, Tyriōque ārdēbat mūrice laena dēmissa ex umerīs, dīvēs quae mūnera Dīdō”

As soon as he reached the huts with winged heels, Aeneas founding towers and making new houses he watched. And his sword was starred with yellow jasper, and a cloak glistened with Tyrian purple, hung from his shoulder, all gifts which the rich Dido had made, and had interwoven the web with thread of gold.

“ārserat Aenēae Dīdō miserābilis igne, ārserat exstructīs in sua fāta rogīs Wretched Dido, she had been burned with her fire for Aeneas; she had been burned on a funeral pyre built for her own death. (In a mere two lines, Ovid vividly summarizes the tragedy of Dido by contrasting two different meanings for the word ārserat.)”
