1. //Accensa// (line 364, inflamed); //incensa// (line 376, inflamed). Instead of being inflamed by love, Dido is inflamed by anger. 2. Dido uses a metaphor, saying, in essence, that Aeneas is inhuman; he is so hard-hearted that a mountain must have given birth to him and so vicious that he must have been suckled by tigers. She also uses anaphora (repetition of //num//, lines 369-370) in a series of rhetorical questions to emphasize Aeneas' lack of sympathy for her. 3. //Nusquam tuta fides//, line 373 (Nowhere is trust secure). She sets forth how she aided Aeneas when he had been shipwrecked and in need (//eiectum litore, egentem//, line 373) and how she rescued his fleet and men from death (line 375). 4. Dido says that she will haunt Aeneas wherever he goes (Though absent I shall pursue you with gloomy fires and, when chilly death will have separated my limbs from my spirit, I shall be present as a ghost in all places, lines 384-386). 5. Aeneas wants to console Dido (//lenire...solando cupit//, line 394) and he feels weakened by his love for her (//labefactus amore//, line 395), but he nevertheless follows the gods' orders (//iussa...exsequitur//, line 396). 6. Vergil describes the Trojans as being in such a hurry that they do not even trim the foliage from the wood they are using as oars (//frondentes ferunt remos//, line 399). 7. Vergil uses apostrophe to address Dido and to connect us to the feelings she must be experiencing as she watches the Trojans equip their fleet for departure. 8. Dido says that she would find his departure more bearable had she been able to expect it (//si potui tantum sperare dolorem,/et perferre, soror, potero//, lines 419-420). 9. Dido wants Anna to convince Aeneas to stay until Dido can become accustomed to the idea of his departure and her grief about it (lines 433-434). 10. Aeneas, although he is "blasted" by his tears and entreaties just as a tree is blasted by wintry winds, remains rooted to his intentions, just as the tree is. He is assailed by words (//vocibus...tunditur//, lines 447-448) and he cares about Dido (//magno persentit pectore curas//, line 448), but he is unmoved (//mens immota manet//, line 449). 11. The //lacrimae// may belong to Anna (or Dido) since Aeneas is said not to be moved by any //fletibus// (line 439), but they may belong to him, since it is his //mens// (line 449) that is mentioned in the first part of the sentence.
