LXXII. lines 13715-13876, Fr. 13599-13765 207

Herein the harridan prepares
Fair-Welcome’s mind for love affairs,
And shows how evil women may,
In love, both go and lead astray.

This tells how Dido, mighty queen
Of Carthage, racked with sorrow keen
For that great love she suffered through
Æneas, with a sword-thrust slew
Herself, and how fair Phillis won
A cruel death through Demophon.

LXXIV. lines 14555-14652, Fr. 14445-14542 234

How Vulcan once espied his wife
Engaged with Mars in amorous strife,
When cunningly he threw a snare
Around the fond but guilty pair.

Of Nature’s power and subtlety.
