Aen. 3.570Portus ab accessū ventōrum immōtus et ingēns
ipse;The harbour itself, sheltered from the approach of the winds, is calm and vast; Aen. 3.571sed horrificīs iūxtā tonat Aetna ruīnīs;but nearby Etna thunders with terrifying crashes; Aen. 3.572interdumque ātram prōrumpit ad aethera nūbem,
turbine fūmantem piceō et candente favillā,
attollitque globōs flammārum et sīdera lambit;at times it hurls a black cloud to the heavens, smoking with pitchy whirlwind and glowing ash, and lifts up balls of flame and licks the stars; Aen. 3.575interdum scopulōs āvolsaque viscera montis
ērigit ērūctāns, liquefactaque saxa sub aurās
cum gemitū glomerat, fundōque exaestuat īmō.at times it belches out and flings up rocks, the torn-out entrails of the mountain, and rolls molten stone together into the air with a groan, and boils up from its lowest depths. Aen. 3.578Fāma est Enceladī sēmustum fulmine corpus
urguērī mōle hāc, ingentemque īnsuper Aetnam
580impositam ruptīs flammam exspīrāre camīnīs;The story is that the body of Enceladus, half-burnt by the thunderbolt, is pressed down by this mass, and that huge Etna, set on top of him, breathes out flame from its burst furnaces; Aen. 3.581et fessum quotiēns mūtet latus, intremere omnem
murmure Trīnacriam, et caelum subtexere fūmō.and that each time he shifts his weary side, all Trinacria trembles with a rumble and veils the sky with smoke.
Aen. 3.583Noctem illam tēctī silvīs immānia mōnstra
perferimus, nec quae sonitum det causa vidēmus.That night, hidden in the woods, we endure monstrous portents, and cannot see what cause makes the noise. Aen. 3.585Nam neque erant astrōrum ignēs, nec lūcidus aethrā
sīdereā polus, obscūrō sed nūbila caelō,
et lūnam in nimbō nox intempesta tenēbat.For there were no fires of the stars, nor was the sky bright with starry ether, but clouds in a darkened heaven, and the dead of night held the moon in a storm-cloud.
