In these lines, Aeneas and his men are further examining Carthage under the protection of the mist. They see Dido go by, surrounded by a group of young men, similar to the way Diana is surrounded by her dancers. They are nervous about the situation, but they are also eager to be on good terms with the Carthaginians. In the last few lines, Ilioneus starts a speech to Dido introducing the Trojans and showing that they look to be on peaceful terms and that they also need some help.
