   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..
