Aen. 5.799Tum Sāturnius haec domitor maris ēdidit altī:
800Fās omne est, Cytherēa, meīs tē fīdere regnīs,
unde genus dūcis: meruī quoque;Then the son of Saturn, tamer of the deep sea, spoke thus: 'It is entirely right, Cytherea, for you to trust in my realm, from which you draw your birth: I have earned it too; Aen. 5.801saepe furōrēs
compressī, et rabiem tantam caelīque marisque.often I have checked the fury and such great rage of sky and sea. Aen. 5.803Nec minor in terrīs, Xanthum Simoentaque testor,
Aenēae mihi cūra tuī.Nor on land, I call Xanthus and Simois to witness, has my care for your Aeneas been less. Aen. 5.804Cum Troia Achillēs
805exanimāta sequēns impingeret agmina mūrīs,
mīlia multa daret lētō, gemerentque replētī
amnēs, nec reperīre viam atque ēvolvere posset
in mare sē Xanthus, Pēlīdae tunc ego fortī
congressum Aenēān nec dīs nec vīribus aequīs
810nūbe cavā rapuī, cuperem cum vertere ab īmō
strūcta meīs manibus periūrae moenia Troiae.When Achilles, pursuing the panic-stricken Trojan columns, was driving them against their walls, was giving many thousands to death, and the choked rivers groaned, and Xanthus could not find its way and roll itself out to the sea, then I snatched Aeneas away in a hollow cloud as he met the brave son of Peleus with neither gods nor strength equal, although I longed to overturn from their foundations the walls of perjured Troy, built by my own hands.
Aen. 5.812Nunc quoque mēns eadem perstat mihi: pelle timōrēs.Now too my mind remains the same: drive away your fears. Aen. 5.813Tūtus, quōs optās, portus accēdet Avernī.Safely he will reach the harbours of Avernus, as you wish. Aen. 5.814Ūnus erit tantum, āmissum quem gurgite quaerēs;There will be only one whom you will seek, lost in the flood; Aen. 5.815ūnum prō multīs dabitur caput.one life will be given for many.' Aen. 5.816Hīs ubi laeta deae permulsit pectora dictīs,
iungit equōs aurō genitor, spūmantiaque addit
frēna ferīs, manibusque omnēs effundit habēnās.When with these words he had soothed the goddess's heart to gladness, the father yokes his horses with gold, puts the foaming bits on the wild creatures, and lets all the reins flow loose from his hands. Aen. 5.819Caeruleō per summa levis volat aequora currū;In his sea-blue chariot he flies lightly over the surface of the waters; Aen. 5.820subsīdunt undae, tumidumque sub axe tonantī
sternitur aequor aquīs;the waves subside, and under the thundering axle the swelling sea of waters is levelled; Aen. 5.821fugiunt vāstō aethere nimbī.the storm-clouds flee from the vast sky.
Aen. 5.822Tum variae comitum faciēs, immānia cētē,
et senior Glaucī chorus, Īnōusque Palaemōn,
Trītōnēsque citī, Phorcīque exercitus omnis;Then come the various shapes of his companions, huge sea-monsters, and the aged band of Glaucus, and Palaemon son of Ino, and the swift Tritons, and the whole army of Phorcus; Aen. 5.825laeva tenent Thetis, et Melitē, Panopēaque virgō,
Nisaeē, Spīōque, Thalīaque, Cȳmodocēque.on the left are Thetis and Melite and the maiden Panopea, Nisaee and Spio, Thalia and Cymodoce.
