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 feys abone,
Vndir the ftabillit 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 fschore deip, euer stabil but ony wawis. A wod abufe ourheldis with his rank bewis, And caftis a plefand schaddow our the clewis. Rycht our forgane the forret of a bra,

Vnder the hyngand rolkis, was alfwa 15 Ane coif, and tharin frefch watir springand, 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 first 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 ftane
Thai grand, and fyne 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 cost,
