Haydock's commentary
Head, as if to hide her face, Ezechiel xxvii. 30., and Jeremias ii. 37. So Mezentius:
"Canitiem immundo deformat pulvere et ambas
Ad Cœlum tendit palmas."
(Virgil, Æneid x.) See Homer, Iliad 2. (Calmet)
Crying, that no one might think she had consented. (Menochius)
She probably went directly to her brother's house, and related the affair to him; or he met her in this condition. (Salien)
