Nec quamquam miranda viris stupet Aesone natus et secum: heu miseros nostrum natosque patresque! hacine nos animae faciles rate nubila contra mittimur; in solum num saeviet Aesona pontus? non iuvenem in casus eademque pericula Acastum abripiam? invisae Pelias freta tuta carinae optet et exoret nostris cum matribus undas.
But though the men gaze in wonder at these sights the son of Aeson marvels not, and thus he reasons with himself: Alas! for those of us who have fathers or sons alive! Is this the ship in which we thoughtless souls are sent forth in the face of a clouded sky? shall the ocean spend its wrath on Aeson alone? shall I not snatch away the young Acastus to undergo the same fortunes and the same perils? Then let Pelias desire a safe voyage for the hated ship, and join with our mothers to appease the waves by prayer!
