    • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.688-689:
      Illa, gravēs oculōs cōnāta attollere rūrsus
      dēficit; īnfīxum strīdit sub pectore vulnus.
      [Dido, who] had tried to lift her heavy eyes again, swoons — the deep-driven wound gasping beneath her breast.
      (For lifting of the eyes, cf. Aeneid 5.847: “attollens … lumina”.)
