Aen. 3.548Haud mora, continuō perfectīs ōrdine vōtīs,
cornua vēlātārum obvertimus antemārum,
550Grāiugenumque domōs suspectaque linquimus arva.Without delay, as soon as the vows are duly fulfilled in order, we turn the horns of our sail-clad yards seaward and leave the homes of the Greek-born and the fields we distrust. Aen. 3.551Hinc sinus Herculeī (sī vēra est fāma) Tarentī
cernitur;Next the bay of Tarentum, Hercules' town (if the story is true), comes into view; Aen. 3.552attollit sē dīva Lacīnia contrā,
Caulōnisque arcēs et nāvifragum Scylaceum.opposite rises the Lacinian goddess, and the towers of Caulon and ship-wrecking Scylaceum. Aen. 3.554Tum procul ē flūctū Trīnacria cernitur Aetna,
555et gemitum ingentem pelagī pulsātaque saxa
audīmus longē frāctāsque ad lītora vōcēs,
exsultantque vada, atque aestū miscentur harēnae.Then far off, rising from the waves, Trinacrian Etna comes into view, and we hear from afar the great groaning of the sea and the battered rocks and broken voices at the shore, and the shallows leap, and sands mingle with the surge. Aen. 3.558Et pater Anchīsēs: Nīmīrum haec illa Charybdis:
hōs Helenus scopulōs, haec saxa horrenda canēbat.And father Anchises: 'Surely this is that Charybdis: these are the crags, these the dreadful rocks Helenus foretold.
Aen. 3.560Ēripite, Ō sociī, pariterque īnsurgite remīs!Pull clear, comrades, and rise to the oars together!' Aen. 3.561Haud minus ac iussī faciunt, prīmusque rudentem
contorsit laevās prōram Palinūrus ad undās.They do just as ordered, and first Palinurus wrenched the groaning prow round to the waters on the left. Aen. 3.563laevam cūncta cohors remīs ventīsque petīvit.the whole company made for the left with oars and winds. Aen. 3.564Tollimur in caelum curvātō gurgite, et īdem
565subductā ad Mānīs īmōs dēsēdimus undā.We are lifted up to the sky on the arching swell, and then, as the wave sinks away, we likewise sink down to the depths of the Shades. Aen. 3.566Ter scopulī clamōrem inter cava saxa dedēre:
ter spūmam ēlīsam et rōrantia vīdimus astra.Three times the cliffs gave a roar among the hollow rocks: three times we saw the spray dashed out and the stars dripping. Aen. 3.568Intereā fessōs ventus cum sōle relīquit,
ignārīque viae Cyclōpum adlābimur ōrīs.Meanwhile the wind left us, weary, along with the sun, and, not knowing the way, we glide to the shores of the Cyclopes.
