Dixit, et attoniti iussis; mortalia credas pectora, sic cuncti vocemque animosque tenebant: non secus ac longa ventorum pace solutum aequor et imbelli recubant ubi litora somno, silvarumque comas et abacto flamine nubes mulcet iners aestas; tunc stagna lacusque sonori detumuere, tacent exusti solibus amnes.
He spoke and they were amazed at his ordinance. You might have thought them mortal hearts, so did they all hold voice and mind in check. Twas as when the sea lies becalmed, winds keep a long peace, and shores stretch in strifeless slumber, while idle summer soothes forest leaves and clouds, breezes dismissed; the meres and loud lakes have subsided, the sun-scorched rivers make no sound.
