In these lines, Aeneas and Sibyl try to cross the river Styx, but Charon is unhappy with them, and does not want to bring living souls across. When Sibyl, however, shows him the golden bough, he agrees to bring them across. The pair drugs Cerberus, the three-headed dog, and continues in through hell.
