“… illum absēns absentem auditque videtque; ….”

[Although] he has gone away, she [still] hears and sees [her] missing [love]. (Nominative and accusative forms side-by-side: The poetic collocation doubly emphasizes how much Dido misses Aeneas, and how he remains in her thoughts even when he is away.)
