Virgil

« All quotes from this author
 

Placidaque ibi demum morte quievit.
--
And there he reposed in tranquil death.
--
Line 445 (of Nisus).
--
Cf. Dryden's translation: Dying, he slew; and, stagg'ring on the plain, With swimming eyes he sought his lover slain; Then quiet on his bleeding bosom fell, Content, in death, to be reveng'd so well.
