Briareus hundred-headed, arrayed
In flames, Chimæra, and, bellowing beast,
The Hydra, Harpies that pollute a feast,
Gorgons looking cold death, and the Earth-King,
Who grew a fresh third body at each fling.
No stain on Æneas if monsters made
Him grip and wave at the dour crew his blade,
Until warned by the Sibyl that they were
Bodiless Shades, invulnerable as air.
Passing unharmed, they now approached the shore
