Book 10.680-688
Disgraced, Turnus considers his options. Should he kill himself or swim back to the battlefield. He is prevented from doing either.
Haec memorans animo nunc huc, nunc fluctuat illuc,
680
an sese mucrone ob tantum dedecus amens
681
induat et crudum per costas exigat ensem,
682
fluctibus an iaciat mediis et litora nando
683
curva petat Teucrumque iterum se reddat in arma.
684
Ter conatus utramque viam, ter maxima Iuno
685
continuit iuvenemque animi miserata repressit.
686
Labitur alta secans fluctuque aestuque secundo
687
et patris antiquam Dauni defertur ad urbem.
