Aeneid lines 1.142-196

Thus he speaks, and, more swiftly than his having spoken, he calms the swelling waters and routs the gathered clouds and leads back the sun. Cymothoe and Triton at the same time dislodge the ships from the sharp rock; (Neptune) himself lifts with his trident and opens the vast reefs and controls the sea and glides over the top of the waters with light wheels. And just as in a great people when often a riot has arisen and the common crowd rages in their spirits and now torches and rocks fly, madness supplies weapons; then, they are quiet and stand with alert ears if by chance they have caught sight of some man weighty with piety and merits; that man rules their spirits with words and soothe their hearts: thus the whole uproar of the sea subsided, after the father, looking out on the waters and conveyed in an open cloud guides his horses and, flying, gives reins to his obedient chariot.

{157} The weary men of Aeneas strive with speed to seek the shores which (are) nearest, and they are turned to the shores of Libya. There is a place in a long inlet: an island makes a port by an overhang of the sides, by which all from the sea is broken, and a wave divides itself into receding waves. On this side and that (there are) vast cliffs and twin rocks tower into the sky, under the summit of which safe waters are widely silent; then (there is) a stage above with quivering woods, and a black wood threatens with bristling shade. Under the face opposite (is) a cave with hanging rocks; (there are) sweet streams within and seats in living rock, the home of Nymphs. Here no (lit. not any) chains hold weary ships, anchor does not bind with curved bite. Aeneas comes upon this place with seven ships having been gathered from his whole number, and with great love of land the Trojans, having disembarked, gain possession of wished-for sand and put limbs dripping with salt upon the shore. As soon as possible Achates struck out a spark from the flint and caught the fire with leaves and gave dry fuel around and seized the flame in tinder. Then those weary of their circumstances prepare grain spoilt by the waves and the utensils of Ceres, and they prepare both to roast recovered grains with flames and break (them) with a rock.

{180} Aeneas meanwhile climbs the cliff and seeks widely the whole view over the sea, if he might see any Antheus, tossed by the wind, and the Phrygian biremes or Capys or the weapons of Caicus on his lofty ships. He sees no ship in his view, (but) three stags wandering on the shore; all the herds follow those from behind and the long line feeds through the valleys. He stopped here and snatched his bow in his hand and swift arrows, which weapons faithful Achates carried, and he first lay low those same leaders, bearing heads high with branching horns, then the herd, and he mingles the whole crowd into the leafy woods, driving with his missiles; and he does not stop before he throws down seven huge bodies upon the ground and makes the number equal to his ships; from here he seeks port and distributes (them) among all his companions. Then the hero distributes wines which good Acestes had loaded in jars on the Trinacrian shore and had given to those departing. . .
