   • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.450–451:

     Tum vērō īnfēlīx fātīs exterrita Dīdō
     mortem ōrat; taedet caelī convexa tuērī.

     Then truly tragic, terrified by destiny, Dido prays for death; she wearies to view the vault of heaven.
     (In other words, Dido experiences dire portents and withdraws from the light of day or everyday life.)
