In these lines, Dido is finishing her desperate speech to Aeneas about him leaving. Her speech causes Aeneas pain, but he holds onto his warning from Jupiter, and tells her he must go. His speech is much shorter, and seemingly less heartfelt than hers, but it is his final word, and makes the reader see that he is not turning back.
