[64] As Heyne observes, Virg. never informs us what were the feelings of Lavinia. His portrait of her had become classical by the time of Statius: see 1 Silv. 2. 244 (quoted by Wagn.), “Non talis niveos strinxit (‘tinxit’ Wagn.) Lavinia voltus, Cum Turno spectante rubet: non Claudia talis Respexit populos mota iam virgo carina.”
