Book 10.287-296
Aeneas and his allies land. Tarchon directs his ships to a suitable landing place.
Interea Aeneas socios de puppibus altis
287
pontibus exponit. Multi servare recursus
288
languentis pelagi et brevibus se credere saltu,
289
per remos alii. Speculatus litora Tarchon,
290
qua vada non sperat nec fracta remurmurat unda,
291
sed mare inoffensum crescenti adlabitur aestu,
292
advertit subito proram sociosque precatur:
293
“Nunc, o lecta manus, validis incumbite remis;
294
tollite, ferte rates; inimicam findite rostris
295
hanc terram, sulcumque sibi premat ipsa carina.
