The deip furthget in fchaldis heir and thair;
Gretly commovit, out of the fey gan ftair,
His plesand hede rafit on the hyast wall,
Lukand about, behaldiş, the fey our all,

5 Eneas navy fkatterit fer yfundir;

With fludis ourfet the Troianys, and at vnder
By flaggis and rayn dyd from the hevyn difcend:
Junois diffate and ire full weill he kend.

He callis till hym Eurus and Zephirus,

10 Tha eft and weft wyndis, and faid thame thus ; Ar ge fa gretly affurit in our hie kyn,

Je wyndis, quod he, but my leif durst begyn
Baith erd and ayr to move on this maneir,
And eik the fey with fa ftowt ftormys fteir?
15 I fal ou chaftys: bot me behuffis first meys
The motioune of fludis, and thame appes;
Traift weill, onpunyft ze fal me not aftart,
On fik a wys gif ze falt efterwart.
Withdraw gou hens, and to your kyng fay дe,

On feys, nor on the thre granyt ceptour wand
Quhilk is by cut gevin me to beir in hand;
Hald him on craggis and amang rochis hie,
Thair is your dwelling place, Eurus, quod he;
25 Byd Eolus kepe him in that hald conding,

Do cloys the prefoun of wyndis, and tharon ryng.
Thus faid he, and with that word hastely
The fwelland feys has fwagit, and fra the fky
Gaderit the clowdis and chafit fone away,

30 Brocht haine the fon agane and the brycht day.

Hys douchter Cymothoe, and hys fon Tryton
Enforfis thame the Troianys fchippis anone
To rays and lift of the fcharp rolkis blynd:
The god hym felf gan hefyng thame behynd
5 With his byg ceptour havand granys thre;
Oppynnys fchald fandis and temperis weill the fee,
Ourflidand lychtly the croppis of the wallis.

And as ge fe, as oft amangis commonys fallis

CAP. IV.

Quhou Eneas in Affrik dyd arryve,
And thar with fchote flew fevin hartis belyve.

Eftyr that the fader of the fludys Neptune
Had on fik wys behaldyn the seys abone,
Vndir the stabillit hevin movit in his chare,

20 Slakking his rengeis with profper cours and fair,
Eneas and his feris, on the ftrand

Wery and forwrocht, fped thame to the nerreft land,

And at the coft of Lyby arryvit he.

Ane havyn place with a lang hals or entre
Thar is, with ane ile enveronyt on athir part,

To brek the wallis and ftorm of euery art;

5 Within, the watir in a bofum gays.

Baith heir and thair ftant large craggis and brais.

To fe the hewis on athir hand is wondir,

For hycht that femys pyngill with hevin; and vndir, In a braid found fovir from all wyndis blawis, 10 Flowis the fchore deip, euer ftabil but ony wawis. A wod abufe ourheldis with his rank bewis, And caftis a plefand fchaddow our the clewis. Rycht our forgane the forret of a bra,

Vnder the hyngand rolkis, was alfwa

15 Ane coif, and tharin frefch watir fpringand,
And fatis of ftane neuer hewyn with manis hand
Bot wrocht by natur, as it ane hows had beyn
For nymphis, goddeffis of fludis and woddis greyn.
Perbrakit fchippis but cabillis thar mycht ryde,
20 Nane ankyr nedis mak thame areft nor byde.
Of all his navy thidder Eneas brocht
Bot fevin fchippis. With gret defyre and thocht
Tobe on grund Troianys fped thame to land,
As thai defyrit fet foftly on the fand;

25 Thare lethis and lymmys in falt watir bedyit,
Strekit on the coft, fpred furth, bekit and dryit.
Bot firft Achates flew fyre of the flynt

Keppit in dry leiffis, as tunder, quhil thai brynt; Syne ftikkis dry to kyndil thar about laid is, 30 Quhil al in flambe the bles of fyre vp bradis.

E

Than was the quhete with fludis chaffit and wet,
And inftrumentis to purge it, fwith out set.
For fkant of vittal, the cornys in quernys of stane
Thai grand, and syne buke at the fyre ilkane.
5 In the meyn quhile, Eneas the bank on hie
Has clummyn, widequhar behaldand the large fee,
Gif ony fchip tharon mycht be perfavit
Quhilk lait tofor the wyndis had bewavit,
Or ony Troiane galay, bark or barge,
10 Antheus, Capis, or Caicus ftremeris large
Wavand or fchawand from thar top on hycht.
Na fchip he faw; bot fone he gat a fyght
Of thre hartis waverand by the coft fyde,
Quham at the bak, throu out the gravis wide,
15 The mekil herdis followit in a rowt,

And pafturit all the large valle about.
Tharat he ftyntis, and hynt his bow in hand;
Swift fleand arowis faft by him had berand
The traift Achates: and firft the ledaris thre,
20 Quhilk on thar hedis bair the tyndis hie,

Smertly he flew, fyne all the rangald perfewis
With grundyn arowis amang the thik wod bewis ;
And ftyntis not with dartis thame to bete

Quhil he to grond had brocht fevin hartis grete,
25 And with his fchippis thar nowmyr equale maid.
Syne to the havin fped him for out abaid,
And thame diftribut amangis his feris all.
The wyne tharwith, in vefchell gret and fmall,
Quhilk til him gave Aceftes, his ryall hoft,

30 At his departing from Sycilly the coft,

To thame he byrlis and fkynkis faft but weir, And with fik wordis comfortis thar drery cheir: O ze my feris, and deir frendis, quod he, Of by went perrellis not ignorant bene we; 5 Je haue fuftenyt grettar dangeris onkend, Lyke as heirof God fal mak fone ane end. The rage of Silla, that huge fwelth in the fee, Je haue efchapit, and paffit eik haue ghe The euer rowtand Charibdis rolkis fell, 10 The craggis quhar monftruus Ciclopes dwell The ar expert: pluk vp your hartis, I gou pray, This dolorus dreid expell and do away; Sum tyme heiron to think may help perchance. By diuers cacis, feir perrellis and fufferance, 15 Onto Itale we ettill, quhar deftany

Has fchape for ws, in reft and quiet, herbry. Predeftinat is thar Troy fal rys agane; Beis ftowt, on profper forton to remane. Syk plefand wordis, carpand, he has furth brocht, 20 Set his mynd trublit mony grewous thocht, With fenzeit comfort by his cheyr outwart The dolorus payn hyd deip gravyn in hart. Hys feris has this praye reffauyt raith, And to thar met addreffis, it to graith; 25 Hynt of the hydis, maid the bowkis bair,

Rent furth the entralis, fum in tailgeis fchare, Syne brochit flykerand, fum gobbettis of lyre Keft in caldronys, and othir fum bet the fyre, Thame to refrefch: thus all, the coft on lenth, 30 Sped thame with fude to recover thar ftrenth;
