Book 6.398-407
The Sibyl replies to Charon and shows him the sacred bough. His rage dies down.
Quae contra breviter fata est Amphrysia vates:
398
“Nullae hic insidiae tales; absiste moveri;
399
nec vim tela ferunt; licet ingens ianitor antro
400
aeternum latrans exsanguis terreat umbras,
401
casta licet patrui servet Proserpina limen.
402
Troius Aeneas, pietate insignis et armis,
403
ad genitorem imas Erebi descendit ad umbras.
404
Si te nulla movet tantae pietatis imago,
405
at ramum hunc” (aperit ramum, qui veste latebat)
406
“adgnoscas.” Tumida ex ira tum corda residunt.
