At pater Aeneas | But Father Aeneas |
audito nomine Turni | when he hears Turnus’s name |
deserit et muros et summas deserit arces | deserts the walls and the high citadel |
laetitia exsultans | leaping with joy |
opera omnia rumpit | breaks off all operations |
horrendumque intonat armis | and thunders terrifyingly with his armour |
quantus Athos aut quantus Eryx aut quantus pater Appenninus | as huge as Athos or as huge as Eryx or as huge as Father Appenninus himself |
ipse coruscis cum fremit ilicibus | when he roars with his waving oak trees |
gaudetque nivali vertice se attollens ad auras | and rejoices raising himself with his snowy summit to the winds |
