Neptune and Venus by Wenceslaus Hollar (Plate 310 - Scenes from Virgil) 1607-1677

"Propitious Neptune steer’d their course by night
With rising gales that sped their happy flight.
Supplied with these, they skim the sounding shore,
And hear the swelling surges vainly roar."

-Virgil, The Aeneid, Book 7
