far-distant land And before you attain the promis'd shore You in Sicilian seas must ply the Oar Your keels must the Ausonian brine divide Hell you must see by Circes Isle must glide Remember this to thee a signe shall be Thou a white sow with thirty Pigs shalt see White as her self beleaguering her breast Hard by a shadow'd stream here welcome rest Thou from thy toyls shalt finde thy town build here Nor the devouring of thy trenchers fear The fates themselves will best unriddle and Apollo when invok'd will be at hand But that Land there the Coast of Italie Wash'd by our seas our neighb'ring Country flye By hostile Greeks those places peopled are Narycian Locrians doe inhabite there And from those tracts the Salentines late held Lyctian Idomeneus hath them expell'd There Melibaean Phyloctetes smal Petilia hath invested with a wall But when thy fleet shall in safe harbour be And on the Altars vows perform'd by thee Spread o're thy face a purple veil least when Thou dost officiate foes should intervene And holy rites disturb let this to thee And thy Descendants still a Custome be But when thou shalt Sicilias coast draw neer And the straits of Pelorus shall appear Steer to the Larbord fly the Starbord shore The left-hand Seas cleave with thy lab'ring oar It is reported so great change doth wait Vpon times darker footsteps that this Strait Was once firm land and that a mighty force Did it from the old Continent divorce That the Sea interposing did divide Th' Hesperian from the Sicilian side And rushing in with its still-chaffed Brine Once neer-allied Plains and towns disjoyn Scylla the right the left Charybdis keeps And sucks thrice to the bottome of her Deeps The toyling floud as often lifts on high Th' ejected waves laves th'approached skie But Scylla lurking in dark caves display's Her face and ships to crushing rocks betray 's A Virgin to the twist divinely fram'd Her nether parts with shape of Monsters sham'd Which wolves are in their fore-parts but behind Of Dolphins have the Scalie rudders joyn'd Better it is to round Pachynus cape And thy course that way though about to shape Then ugly Scylla in her cave to see And rocks resounding with her Monsters crye Further if Helenus have any skill Or truth or know at all Apollo's will One thing I recommend one above all Incessantly on Courted Iuno call Her Deity with vows propitious make With sacrifice appease then thou shalt take Thy journey with assur'd successe and land From Sicil's coast safe on th' Italian strand Where when to Cumoe and Avernus plac'd Midst softly-wisp'ring woods thou shalt have pass'd There thou shalt see the frantick Prophetesse Sing Destinies in a deep Caves recesse Which she to leaves commits what verse soe're She writes in order plac'd she leaveth there They firmly keep the place to each assign'd But when the open'd door th' intruding wind Admits which doth the lighter leaves disperce She n'ere reorders the disorder'd verse Or cares them to rejoyn unanswear'd they And Sibyls Cell detesting go their way Nor think time lost though thou beest here delayd Though thy departure winds and friends perswade But with all humblenesse Sibylla seek To thee th' Inspired willingly will speak Of Italie the people will declare And thee instruct in the insuing warre Teach where toward teach where to assayl And worshipp'd will supply a favo'ring gale Loe here the sum of what I can advise Go raise our Troy by great deeds to the skyes Which when the Prophet kindly had exprest With costly gifts he doth dismisse his Guest With Iv'ry silver gold with vessels made Of Dodonaean brasse his ship doth lade A Coat-of-maile studded with gold a bright Helmet with curled plumes once the delight Of Pyrrhus he bestows the Father had His presents likewise he to these doth add Brave Coursers with their Riders Lastly their crazie Fleet he doth repair And them supplies with all things useful were Mean while Anchises bids them to prepare That they might ready be when winds blew faire To whom in courtly terms the Priest thus spake Anchises whom into her bed to take Venus hath deign'd the Gods especial care Twice from Troys ruin's snatch'd lo 'fore thee are Ausonia's shores to these thy course direct And yet from these thou must thy Course deflect For that part of Ausonia farr doth lye By Phoebus meant in thy sons pietye Go happy man but why do I thus spend Both words and time when friendly gales attend Andromache at parting no lesse sad Ascanius with rich figur'd vests doth lade What or the needle could or loom invent Rare peeces she in these words did present Sweet youth these wrought by mine own hands receive As monuments with thee to keep alive Of Hectors wife the memory of thine The fare-well tokens thou the very meen Of my Astyanax the ey 's the face And very gesture hast and now alas Had he surviv'd you 'd equall been in years Then with these parting words I mingle tears Live and be happy you who setled are We must be tossed too and fro your care Is at an end you have no seas to crosse Or in your quest to be still at a losse Catching recoyling shores you live to see Xanthus in little and a Troy which ye Your selves have built I hope more happily And which to Greeks may lesse obnoxious bee And if I Tyber and those plains about Possesse and see those realmes for us laid out Both Troy's designed kindred towns to be Neighbours both boasting the same pedigree Alike turmoyl'd shall leagued be that care On those shall rest who our Descendants are Now we neer the Ceraunian Mountains ride The shortest cut to the Italian side The Sun now set night its black mantle spreads And on our mother-earth we take our beds We for our bodi 's on the shore take care Where toyled Nature we with sleep repaire Night was not yet half spent when from his bed A waken'd Palinurus nimbly fled The winds observ'd to ev'ry blast gave ear Mark'd all stars gliding in the silent sphear Arctûrus and the dripping Hyadae The two Bears with golden Orîen he Contemplat's then when he a setled skye And clear beheld he gives the signe to weigh We goe abord we launch our sayls we spread And now Morn blush'd twingling stars were fled When obscure hills and humble Italie We make Achates Italie doth crie With joyfull Clamours Italie our men Resound a mighty bowl Anchises then Surrounding with a Garland fills with wine And standing on the Poup the powers divine Invokes Gods who both seas do rule and land Who tempests tame a favouring gale command The wished breezes rise as we draw neer Minerva's Temple and the Port appear And now our sayls we furl and anchor cast A Haven Iland-lock'd opens to the East Which vast rocks wal with breaking waves made white And it invironning hide from the sight Under whose shelter as our selves we
