“Each man has his day, and the time of life is brief for all, and never comes again. But to lengthen out one’s fame with action, that’s the work of courage. How many sons of gods went down under Troy’s high wall! Why, I lost a son of my own with all the rest—Sarpedon. For Turnus too, his own fate calls, and the man 560 has reached the end of all his days on earth.”
