Book 7.583-590
Latinus rejects the calls for war, like a rock being battered by waves in a storm.
Ilicet infandum cuncti contra omina bellum,
583
contra fata deum perverso numine poscunt,
584
certatim regis circumstant tecta Latini.
585
Ille velut pelagi rupes immota resistit,
586
ut pelagi rupes magno veniente fragore,
587
quae sese multis circum latrantibus undis
588
mole tenet; scopuli nequiquam et spumea circum
589
saxa fremunt laterique inlisa refunditur alga.
