Translation - pages 13-14

Haec ubi dicta, cavum conversa cuspide montem impulit in latus;

When these things had been said, reversing his spear, he struck the hollow mountain on the side;

Ac venti velut agmine facto, qua data porta, ruunt et terras turbine perflant.

And the winds, as if they had formed an army column, rush wherever passage had been given and blow through the lands with a whirlwind.

Incubuere mari totumque a sedibus imis una Eurusque Notusque ruunt creberque procellis Africus, et vastos volvunt ad litora fluctus.

They fell upon the sea, and Eurus and Notus together and Africus, abundant with storms, churn up everything from their lowest depths, and roll huge waves towards the coasts.

Insequitur clamorque virum stridorque rudentum;

There follows both a shout of men and the hissing of cables;

Eripiunt subito nubes caelumque diemque Teucrorum ex oculis;

The clouds snatch away both sky and daylight from the eyes of the Trojans;

Intonuere poli et crebris micat ignibus aether praesentemque viris intentant omnia mortem.

The heavens thundered, the upper air flashes with abundant fires, and everything threatens instant death for the men.
