“Et, sī mē meīs cīvibus iniūria suspectum tam graviter atque offēnsum vidērem, carēre mē aspectū cīvium quam īnfēstīs omnium oculīs cōnspicī māllem; tū cum cōnscientiā scelerum tuōrum agnōscās odium omnium — iūstum et iam diū tibi dēbitum — dubitās, quōrum mentēs sēnsūsque vulnerās, eōrum aspectum praesentiamque vītāre? And, if I saw myself unjustly suspected and so seriously hated by my citizens, I would prefer to be out of sight of the citizens than to be viewed by the hostile eyes of all. [But] you, since with awareness of your own crimes you acknowledge the hatred of all — [hatred that is] just and already long owed to you — do you hesitate, for those whose minds and feelings you have wounded, to avoid their sight and presence? (Infinitive carere + ablative of separation aspectū; infinitive vitare + direct object aspectum.)”

“At vērō Aenēās aspectū obmūtuit āmēns,”

But in truth Aeneas, bewildered by the vision, was struck speechless. His hair stood bristling, and his voice was caught in his throat. (Mercury had appeared suddenly to Aeneas; the god spoke, and vanished.)
