In these lines, the narrator describes the mood and actions of life after Aeneas and Dido's marriage. Rumour is at work as she quickly spreads the word of their marriage throughout the land, and Aeneas and Dido seem happy, enjoying their lives together. Although everything seems relatively fine, there is a negative feeling presented by this passage that seems to foreshadow bad times for the happy couple.
