Book 9.287-294
Euryalus requests that his mother be taken care of if he should die. The Trojans respect Euryalus' love for his mother.
Hanc ego nunc ignaram huius quodcumque pericli est
287

288
dextera, quod nequeam lacrumas perferre parentis
289
at tu, oro, solare inopem et succurre relictae.
290
Hanc sine me spem ferre tui: audentior ibo
291
in casus omnis.” Percussa mente dedere
292
Dardanidae lacrimas; ante omnis pulcher Iulus,
293
atque animum patriae strinxit pietatis imago.
