I found this in an article by Meyer Reinhold, "Americanization of Vergil, from Colonial Times to 1882" in Augustan Age 6 (1982) 207-218:
>From a travesty of Aen. IV by one Rowland Rugely in 1774: Aeneas finished here his ditty Of old King Priam and his city; The Trojans at a tale so deep, And wondrous moving, fell - asleep. But not the Queen... that's the beginning of the book; here's the end (Iris to Dido): "And thus I set at liberty Your restless headstrong soul -- die." This said -- she gave a lusty pluck at The lock, and Dido kick'd the bucket.
