In the lines 200-209, Aeneas is trying to rally his troops with a spirit-lifting speech. Although he does not feel hopeful himself, he puts on a happy face for his crew to make them feel better.
In the lines 418-440, Aeneas and his men are marveling at the city they are overlooking from a cliff. The Tyrians are described while working on their individual tasks, and are compared to bees in the summer, working within their hive.
