Obstupui, steteruntque comae, et vox faucibus haesit.
--
Aghast, astonished, and struck dumb with fear, I stood; like bristles rose my stiffened hair.
--
Line 774 (translated by John Dryden)
--
I heard, fear-stricken and amazed, My speech tongue-tied, my hair upraised.
--
Translated by John Conington

Dixit et avertens rosea cervice refulsit,
Ambrosiaeque comae divinum vertice odorem
Spiravere; pedes vestis defluxit ad imos,
Et vera incessu patuit dea.

 
Virgil
 

Vestibulum ante ipsum primisque in faucibus Orci
Luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae,
Pallentesque habitant Morbi tristisque Senectus,
Et Metus et malesuada Fames ac turpis Egestas,
Terribiles visu formae, Letumque Labosque;
tum consanguineus Leti Sopor.
