In these lines, Rumour is still hard at work with spreading the word of Aeneas and Dido, but this time, she is taking the rumor to a kind named Iarbas. Iarbas, who is extremely wealthy, pleads with Jupiter to see these actions and do something about them. He is extremely angered by the marriage, because Dido had rejected his offer, when she accepts this (in his mind outrageous) offer from Aeneas.
