The Metamorphoses by Roman poet Publius Ovidius Naso (43 BC - AD 17 or 18).
Excipit Aenean illic animoque domoque
non bene discidium Phrygii latura mariti
Sidonis, inque pyra sacri sub imagine facta
incubuit ferro, deceptaque decipit omnes. (Met. 14.78-81)

(trans. Then the Sidonian woman received Aeneas in her heart and in her castle, doomed not to bear well the departure of her Phrygian husband. On a pyre made under pretense of a sacret rite, she fell upon his sword and, herself cheated, she cheated all.)

Les métamorphoses d'Ovide, en Latin et François, divisées en XV livres, de la traduction de Mr. Pierre du-Ryer Parisien, de l'académie Françoise, 1702, Bibliothèque nationale de France..
