Translation - pages 7-8

Ast ego, quae divum incedo regina Iovisque et soror et coniunx, una cum gente tot annos bella gero.

But I, who grandly walk as queen of the gods, and both sister and wife of Jupiter, have been waging wars for so many years with one race.

Et quisdam numen Iononis adorat praetera aut supplex aris imponet honorem?’

And does anyone worship the divine power of Juno any more or in supplication will anyone place an offering among her altars?’

Talia flammato secum dea corde volutans nimborum in patriam, loca feta furentibus Austris Aeoliam venit.

The goddess, turning over such thoughts with herself in her inflamed heart, came to the land of the clouds, Aeolia, an area teeming with raging south winds.

Hic vasto rex Aeolus antro luctantes ventos tempestatesque sonoras imperio premit ac vinclis et carcere frenat.

Here, King Aeolus by means of his power confine the struggling winds and surrounding storms within a huge cave and curbs them with chains and a prison.

Illi indignantes magno cum murmure montis circum claustra fremunt;

They, indignant, roar around the prison bars accompanied by the mighty murmur of the mountain;

Celsa sedet Aeolus arce sceptra tenens mollitque animos et temperat iras.

Aeolus sits in the lofty citadel, holding the sceptre, soothes their feelings and restrains their outbursts of anger.
