[353] Incensae is the emphatic word, as in v. 327, βοηθεῖτε φλεγομένῃ τῇ πόλει. ‘The city you succour is a blazing ruin.’ ‘Moriamur et ruamus’ is not exactly a case of ὕστερον πρότερον. The first thing which Aeneas had to do was to persuade his comrades to die; the next to tell them how to do it. “In arma feror,” v. 337.
