Then maddened by the fates, unhappy Dido
calls out at last for death; it tires her
to see the curve of heaven. That she may
not weaken in her plan to leave the light,
she sees, while placing offering on the altars
with burning incense – terrible to tell –
the consecrated liquid turning black,
the outpoured wine becoming obscene blood.
– Dido's misery, from Book IV of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
