81 When these things were said, he struck the hollow mountain in the side with a turned spear: and the winds, as with a battle line having been formed where a door was given, they rush and blow over land with a storm. They lay upon the seas and they rushed the whole [sea] from the deepest places together the East wind (Eurus) and the South wind (Notus) and the Southwest wind (Africus) and crowded with gusts and they roll vast waves to the shores. Both the clamor of men and the creaking or ropes follow.

You give to me whatever of a kingdom this is, you win over the scepter(s) and Jove, you allow [me] to recline at the feasts of the gods, and you make [me] powerful of clouds and storms."
