Als, Troiane blude till hir was odyus,
For Jupiter engendrit Dardanus,
Fra quham the Troianys cam in adultry,
And Ganymedes revist abuf the sky,
5 Maid him his butler, quhilk was hir douchteris office. Juno inflambit, mufyng on thir cafis nyce,
The quhile our fey that falit the Troianys,
Quhilkis had the ded efchapit, and remanys
Onflane of Grekis or of the fers Achill,
10 Scho thame fordryvis, and caufys oft ga will
Frawart Latium, quhilk now is Italy,
By fremmyt werd ful mony geris tharby,
Cachit and blaw wydquhar all feys about.
Lo quhou gret cure, quhat travell, pane, and dowt, 15 Was to begyn the worthy Romanys blude!
And as the Troianys frakkis our the flude,
Skars from the fycht of Syfilly the land,
With bent fail full, rycht merely faland,
Thar ftevynnys fcowrand faft throu the falt fame,
20 Quhen that Juno, till hir euerleftand fchame,
The etern wound hyd in hir breift ay greyn,
Ontill hir felf thus fpak in propir teyn;
Is this ganand, that I my purpos faill
As clene ourcum, and may nocht from Itaill
25 Withhald thys kyng of Troy and his navy?
Am I abandonyt with fa hard deftany,
Sen Pallas mocht on Grekis tak fik wraik,
To byrn thar fchippis, and all, for anys faik,
Drowne in the fey, for Aiax Oilus wrang?
30 From Jupiter the wild fyre down fche flang
Furth of the clowdis, diftroyt thar fchippis all, Ourquhelmyte the fey with mony wyndy wall; Aiax breift perfit, gafpand furth flawmand fmoke, Sche with a thud ftikkit on a fcharp roke. 5 Bot I, the quhilk am clepit of godis queyn, And onto Jove baith fpous and fiftir fcheyn, With a pepill fa feill gheris weir fall lede; Quha fal from thens adorn in ony ftede The power of Juno, or altaris facryfy, 10 Gif I ourcummyn be thus fchamefully?
Quhou Dame Juno tyll Eolus' cuntre went,
And of the form on the Troianys furth fent.
And on this wys, wyth hart byrnyng as fyre, Mufyng alone, full of malyce and ire, Tyll Eolus' cuntre, that wyndy regioune, A brudy land of furyus ftormy fowne, 15 This Goddes went, quhar Eolus the kyng, In gowfty cavys, the wyndis lowde quiffilling, And braithly tempeftis by hys power refrenys, In bandis hard fchet in prefoun conftrenys; And thai, heirat havand full gret difdeyn, 20 Quhill all the hill refoundis, quhryne and plene About thar clofouris brayng with mony a rare. Kyng Eolus fet hie apon his chare,
With ceptour in hand, thar muyd to meys and still,
Temperis thar ire, les thai fuld at thar will
Beir with thar byr the fkyis, and drive about Erd, ayr and fey, quhen euer thame left blaw out. 5 Thus the hie fader almychty in cavis dyrk
Thir wyndis hyd, for dreid fik wrangis thai wyrk,
And thar abuf fet weghty hillys huge,
Gave thame a kyng, quhilk, as thar lord and juge,
At certane tyme thame ftanching and withhald,
10 And, at command alfo, mycht quhen he wald
Lat thame go fre at large to blaw out braid.
To quham as than lawly thus Juno faid;
Eolus, a pepill onto me ennemy,
Salis the fey Tufcane, cariand to Italy
15 Thar venquyft hamehald goddis and Ilion;
Bot, fen the fader of goddis euery one
And kyng of men gave the power, quod fche,
To meys the flude, or rays with ftormys hie,
Infors thi wyndis, fynk all thar fchippis infeir,
20 Or fkattir widquhar into cuntreis feir,
Warp all thar bodeis in the deip bedeyn.
I haue, quod fche, lufty ladeis fourteyn,
Of quhame the fareft, clepit Diope,
In ferm wedlok I fal coniune to the
25 For thi reward, that lilly quhite of swar,
With the for to remane for euermar;
Quhilk propir fpous and eik thi lady myld
Sal mak the fader to mony fair child.
Eolus anfweris, O thou my lady queyn, 30 Quhat thou defiris to the it doith perteyn
Forto devys, and me behuffis thi command
Obey; for thou the ceptour gevis me in hand
Of all this realme, quhat fo it be, and oft
Jupiter with me confideris, and ful foft
5 Caufis me feist amang the goddis at reft,
And makis me mafter of wyndis and tempeft.
Be this was faid, a grondyn dart leit he glide,
And perfit the bos hill at the braid fyde;
Furth at the ilke port wyndis brade in a rout,
10 And with a quhirl blew all the erth about.
Thai ombefet the feys buftuufly,
Quhil fra the deip, til euery cost fast by,
The huge wallis weltris apon hie,
Rollit at anys with ftorm of wyndis thre,
15 Eurus, Nothus, and the wynd Affricus,
Quhilkis eft, fouth, and weft wyndis hait with ws.
Sone efter this, of men the clamour rays,
The takillis graflis, cabillis can fret and frays.
Swith the clowdis, hevyn, fon, and days lycht
20 Hyd, and byreft furth of the Troianys fycht;
Dyrknes as nycht befet the feys about;
The firmament gan rummylling rair and rout,
The fkyis oft lychtnyt with fyry levin,
And fchortly bath ayr, fey, and hevin,
25 And euery thing mannafit the men to de,
Schawand the ded present tofor thar E.
Quhou that Ene was with the tempeft fchaik,
And quhou Neptune his navy falvyt fra wraik.
Belive Eneas membris fchuk for cald,
And murnand baith his handis vp did hald
Towart the fternys, with petuus voce thus gan fay;
O fevin tymys quhou happy and bliffit war thai,
5 Vnder hie wallis of Troy, by dynt of fwerd,
Deit in thar faderis fyght, bytand the erd!
O thou of Grekis maift forcy Diomed,
Quhy mycht I not on feldis of Troy haue deit,
And by thi rycht hand galdin furth my fprete?
10 Quhar that the valiant He&tour lofit the fwete
On Achillis fpeir, and grilly Sarpedon,
And ondyr the flude Symois mony one
With fchelde and helm ftalwart bodeis lyis warpit.
And al invane thus quhil Eneas carpit,
15 A blaftrand bub, out from the north brayng,
Gan our the forfchip in the bak faill dyng,
And to the fternys vp the flude gan caft;
The aris hechis, and the takillis braft;
The fchippis ftevin frawart hyr went gan wryth, 20 And turnyt hir braid fyde to the wallis fwyth. Heich as a hill the jaw of watir brak,
And in ane hepe cam on thame with a fwak.
Sum hefit hoverand on the wallis hycht,
And fum the fwowchand fey fo law gart lycht,
