In regard to the current discussion on teaching the Aeneid in translation,
an expression that seems to have become embedded in the English-speaking
psyche since the time of Purcell's Dido & Aeneas (and maybe before) is
"remember me" as a special request.  Does Virgil actually put any such words
into Dido's mouth (I tried to find such and failed)?
