128 He sees the fleet of Aeneas scattered over the whole ocean, the Trojans oppressed by waves and the downfall of the heavens.
130 Nor did the tricks and the angers of Juno evade [her] brother.
131 He calls Eurus and Zephyr to him, then he speaks such things: Does the so great faith of your family hold you? Now winds, you dare to stir up the sky and land without my consent (nod) and to raise up such burdens?
135 I...you! But it is better to compose the stirred waves. After(wards) you atone to me for the crimes with no similar punishment.
137 Speed [your] flight and say this to your king: The rule over the sea and the savage trident was given not to that [guy] but by destiny to me. He holds the immense rocks Eurus, your homes; Let Aeolus vaunt himself in that palace and rule in that closed prison of the winds.
142 He speaks thus and more quickly than it having been said, he calmed the swollen sea. He puts to flight the collected clouds and brings back the sun.
144 At the same time Cymothoe and Triton dislodge the ships leaning against a sharp rock. Himself (Neptune) raises [them] with the trident and he opens the vast sand bars and tempers the ocean and he also glides over the highest waves with light wheels.
148 And just as when sedition had arisen in a great people and the ignoble crowd rages in their minds (hearts), And now rocks and torches fly, rage supplies weapons.
151 Then they behold if by chance some man grave with piety and in merit, they are silent and stand with raised ears. He rules minds with words and calms chests (hearts).
154 Thus the whole crash of the sea subsides, afterwards the father looking out over the seas and having been carried in the open sky, he turns the horses and flying he gives reins to the favorable chariot.
157 The exhausted followers of Aeneas hurried to head for the nearest beaches with speed, and they are turned toward the shores of Libya
159 There is a place in a deep inlet: an island forms a port with a barrier of sides, by which every [wave] from the deep is broken and in the curved back bays the wave cuts itself.
162 On this side and on this (that) side vast rocks and twin reefs tower (threaten) into the sky, beneath the top of which, the safe seas are silent; then above, the scene with quivering forests and a grove overhangs with shuddering black[ness].
166 Beneath the face opposite the hanging reefs [there is] a cave, sweet waters within, and seats in the natural rock, homes of nymphs. Here not any chains held the exhausted ships, no anchor holds with curved bite.
170 Here Aeneas goes under with seven ships collected from the whole number; and with a great love of land the Trojans win the desired sands and they place limbs soaked with salt on the shore.
174 And Achates strikes out a first spark from flint (Dative of separation) and he receives fire from the leaves and he gives dry fuel(s) around [the fire] and he snatches up a flame in tinder.
177 Then tired of things they bring out spoiled Ceres (grain) and the tools of Ceres (bread making) and recovered fruits and the prepare to roast [bread] and to break (crush) [grain] with a rock.
180 Meanwhile Aeneas climbs the reef and seeks a view if he might see (what of) Antheus thrown by the wind and the Phrygian galleys or Capys or the arms of Caicus in the towering sterns.
184 He sees no ship in view, three deer wandering on the shore. Whole herds follow these from the back, and a long line grazes through the valley.
