“… Prīma et Tellūs et prōnuba Iūnō dant signum; fulsēre ignēs et cōnscius aether cōnubiīs, summōque ululārunt vertice nymphae. And now Primeval Earth and Juno, Queen of Marriage, give the signal; lightning [torches] flare, [with] high heaven [itself] attendant to the union, and from a lofty peak nymphs wail [a wedding hymn]. (Divinities and nature enact rituals of Roman weddings – attendants, flaming torches, Hymeneal hymns – as Dido and Aeneas consummate their relationship.)”
