Neptune thus recounts his services to Æneas: “When your Æneas fought, but fought with odds Of force unequal, and unequal gods: I spread a cloud before the victor’s sight, Sustain’d the vanquish’d, and secured his flight— Even then secured him, when I sought with joy The vow’d destruction of ungrateful Troy.” Dryden’s Virgil, v. 1058.
