The Trojans sail
close by the shore of Circe's island, where
the wealthy daughter of the Sun, with song
unending, fills her inaccessible groves;
she kindles fragrant cedarwood within
her handsome halls to light the night and runs
across her finespun web with a shrill shuttle.
The raging groans of lions fill her palace –
they roar at midnight, restless in their chains –
and growls of bristling boars and pent-up bears,
and howling from the shapes of giant wolves:
all whom the savage goddess Circe changed,
by overwhelming herbs, out of the likeness
of men into the face and form of beasts.
But lest the pious Trojans have to suffer
such horrors and be carried to this harbor
or land along these cruel coasts, Neptune
had swelled their sails with saving winds and helped
their flight. He carried them past the seething shoals.
– Neptune protects the Trojans from Circe, from Book VII of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
