Quhou Eneas with all his rowt bedene With thir wordis the fpreit of Eneas 20 Bot firft Achates till Enee gan fay; Son of the goddes, quhat purpos now, quod he, H Thyne navy and thy ferys recoverit beyn, Wantand bot ane, amang the fludis greyn Quham we faw droun; all other thingis, thou knawis, Is now conform onto thy moderis fawys. 5 And scarfly haith he all thir wordis fpokkyn, Quhen that the clowd abowt thame fwith was brokkyn, And vanyft tyte away amang the ayr.
