TRANSLATION FROM THE ENEID BOOK I	A
	-
THE god looked out upon the troubled deep	B
Waked into tumult from its placid sleep	B
The flame of anger kindles in his eye	A
As the wild waves ascend the lowering sky	A
He lifts his head above their awful height	C
And to the distant fleet directs his sight	C
Now borne aloft upon the billow's crest	D
Struck by the bolt or by the winds oppressed	D
And well he knew that Juno's vengeful ire	E
Frowned from those clouds and sparkled in that fire	F
On rapid pinions as they whistled by	A
He calls swift Zephyrus and Eurus nigh	A
Is this your glory in a noble line	G
To leave your confines and to ravage mine	G
Whom I but let these troubled waves subside	H
Another tempest and I'll quell your pride	H
Go bear our message to your master's ear	I
That wide as ocean I am despot here	I
Let him sit monarch in his barren caves	J
I wield the trident and control the waves	J
He said and as the gathered vapors break	K
The swelling ocean seemed a peaceful lake	K
To lift their ships the graceful nymphs essayed	H
And the strong trident lent its powerful aid	H
The dangerous banks are sunk beneath the main	L
And the light chariot skims the unruffled plain	L
As when sedition fires the public mind	H
And maddening fury leads the rabble blind	H
The blazing torch lights up the dread alarm	M
Rage points the steel and fury nerves the arm	M
Then if some reverend Sage appear in sight	H
They stand they gaze and check their headlong flight	H
He turns the current of each wandering breast	H
And hushes every passion into rest	H
Thus by the power of his imperial arm	M
The boiling ocean trembled into calm	N
With flowing reins the father sped his way	O
And smiled serene upon rekindled day	O
