To his own city Neptune stops the way,

Revere the omen, and the Gods obey.

Return, ye furious Grecians, homeward fly,

140Your stay is not of Chance, but Destiny:

How can your arms expect desir'd success,

That thus contend for an adulteress?

But, let not me forespeak you, no,—set sail,

And Heav'n befriend you with a prosperous gale!

Ye Trojans! with regret methinks I see

Your first encounter with your enemy;
