And the ship's ruler, Ilion's conqueror,

Knows not what things the tongue of that lewd bitch

Has spoken and spun out in welcome smooth,

1200

And, like a secret Atè, will work out

With dire success: thus 'tis she plans: the man

Is murdered by the woman. By what name

Shall I that loathèd monster rightly call?

An Amphisbæna? or a Skylla dwelling[[369]]

Among the rocks, the sailors' enemy?
