The Trojan Fleet against the Libyan Shore;

Fortune this is no surprise,
For every day 'tis common to our eyes;
But angry Iuno, that she might destroy,
And overwhelm the rest of ruin'd Troy:
That Aeolus with the fierce Goddess joyn'd,
Op'ned the hollow Prisons of the Wind;
'Till angry Neptune, looking o're the Main,
Rebukes the Tempest, calms the Waves again,
Their Vessels from the dang'rous quick-sands steers;
These are the Springs that move our hopes and fears
Without these Ornaments before our Eyes,
Th'unsinew'd Poem languishes, and dyes:
Your Poet in his art will always fail,
And tell you but a dull insipid Tale.
