¹⁸ Hoepffner believes that the phrase, “lever la teste,” may have suggested to the author of the Eneas line 270: Dont leva Eneas la teste. Although Hoepffner does not refer to it, in each case “tempeste” rhymes with “teste.” Since the context differs in these passages, the phrase may equally well have been suggested to the author of the Eneas by Vergil who thus describes Neptune's action during the tempest: … et alto prospiciens summa placidum caput extulit unda. Æneid i, 126–127

Additional details were available for our author in the lines with which Vergil continues his description: (Æneid i, 84 f.) incubuere mari totumque a sedibus imis (84) … Aquilone procella (102) velum adversa ferit … (103) tris Notus abreptas in saxa latentia torquet (108) … tris Eurus ab alto (110) in brevia et syrtis urget (111)

²⁶ Op. cit., xvi, 163–165. Eneas 6573 f., Brut 3357 f. The rhyme riviere: pleniere in the Eneas has no counterpart in this particular passage of the Brut posited as the source of the Eneas. Hoepffner suggests (ibid., p. 165, note 1) that its presence here recalls Wace's use of the same rhyme in his description of Carlion (ll. 10471–72) and in his account of the establishment of the Bretons in Armorica (ll. 6052–53). It is difficult to accept one passage as the general source for the Eneas when recourse must be had to other passages in the Brut for specific detail.

²⁷ Op. cit., xvi, 162 and xv, 258.—In the second case (Brut 4411–4412, Eneas 4645–4646) the rhyme gloire: victoire occurs in lines where the context is not similar.
