“me miserum!”2 dicturus erat: vox nulla secuta est!
ingemuit: vox illa fuit, lacrimaeque per ora
non sua fluxerunt; mens tantum pristina mansit.
quid faciat? repetatne domum et regalia tecta
an lateat silvis? pudor hoc, timor inpedit illud.
Dum dubitat, videre3 canes …
Ovid Metamorphoses 3.194–206
1The subject of dat is Diana.
2This is an example of an accusative of exclamation; translate: “woe is me.”
3videre is an alternative form of the perfect indicative active 3rd person plural = viderunt.
