“Thou in whose hands the Father of all gods

and Sovereign of mankind confides the power

to calm the waters or with winds upturn,

great Aeolus! a race with me at war

now sails the Tuscan main towards Italy,

bringing their Ilium and its vanquished powers.

Uprouse thy gales. Strike that proud navy down!

Hurl far and wide, and strew the waves with dead!

Twice seven nymphs are mine, of rarest mould;

of whom Deiopea, the most fair,

I give thee in true wedlock for thine own,

to mate thy noble worth; she at thy side

shall pass long, happy years, and fruitful bring

her beauteous offspring unto thee their sire.”

Then Aeolus: “'T is thy sole task, O Queen,

to weigh thy wish and will. My fealty

thy high behest obeys. This humble throne

is of thy gift. Thy smiles for me obtain

authority from Jove. Thy grace concedes

my station at your bright Olympian board,

and gives me lordship of the darkening storm.”

Replying thus, he smote with spear reversed

the hollow mountain's wall; then rush the winds

through that wide breach in long, embattled line,

and sweep tumultuous from land to land:

with brooding pinions o'er the waters spread,

east wind and south, and boisterous Afric gale

upturn the sea; vast billows shoreward roll;

the shout of mariners, the creak of cordage,

follow the shock; low-hanging clouds conceal

from Trojan eyes all sight of heaven and day;

night o'er the ocean broods; from sky to sky

the thunders roll, the ceaseless lightnings glare;

and all things mean swift death for mortal man.

Straightway Aeneas, shuddering with amaze,

groaned loud, upraised both holy hands to Heaven,

and thus did plead: “O thrice and four times blest,

ye whom your sires and whom the walls of Troy

looked on in your last hour! O bravest son

Greece ever bore, Tydides! O that I

had fallen on Ilian fields, and given this life

struck down by thy strong hand! where by the spear

of great Achilles, fiery Hector fell,

and huge Sarpedon; where the Simois

in furious flood engulfed and whirled away

so many helms and shields and heroes slain!”

While thus he cried to Heaven, a shrieking blast

smote full upon the sail. Up surged the waves

to strike the very stars; in fragments flew

the shattered oars; the helpless vessel veered

and gave her broadside to the roaring flood,

where watery mountains rose and burst and fell.

Now high in air she hangs, then yawning gulfs

lay bare the shoals and sands o'er which she drives.

Three ships a whirling south wind snatched and flung

on hidden rocks,—altars of sacrifice

Italians call them, which lie far from shore

a vast ridge in the sea; three ships beside

an east wind, blowing landward from the deep,

drove on the shallows,—pitiable sight,—

and girdled them in walls of drifting sand.

That ship, which, with his friend Orontes, bore

the Lycian mariners, a great, plunging wave

struck straight astern, before Aeneas' eyes.

Forward the steersman rolled and o'er the side

fell headlong, while three times the circling flood

spun the light bark through swift engulfing seas.

Look, how the lonely swimmers breast the wave!

And on the waste of waters wide are seen

weapons of war, spars, planks, and treasures rare,

once Ilium's boast, all mingled with the storm.

Now o'er Achates and Ilioneus,

now o'er the ship of Abas or Aletes,

bursts the tempestuous shock; their loosened seams

yawn wide and yield the angry wave its will.

Meanwhile how all his smitten ocean moaned,

and how the tempest's turbulent assault

had vexed the stillness of his deepest cave,

great Neptune knew; and with indignant mien

uplifted o'er the sea his sovereign brow.

He saw the Teucrian navy scattered far

along the waters; and Aeneas' men

o'erwhelmed in mingling shock of wave and sky.

Saturnian Juno's vengeful stratagem

her brother's royal glance failed not to see;

and loud to eastward and to westward calling,

he voiced this word:

132

“What pride of birth or power

is yours, ye winds, that, reckless of my will,

audacious thus, ye ride through earth and heaven,

and stir these mountain waves? Such rebels I—

nay, first I calm this tumult! But yourselves

by heavier chastisement shall expiate

hereafter your bold trespass. Haste away

and bear your king this word! Not unto him

dominion o'er the seas and trident dread,

but unto me, Fate gives. Let him possess

wild mountain crags, thy favored haunt and home,

O Eurus! In his barbarous mansion there,

let Aeolus look proud, and play the king

in yon close-bounded prison-house of storms!”
