In these lines, Neptune senses the storm, and he's super mad, so he scolds the winds that have created it. He tells them to tell Aeolus to stay off of the part of the world that is his realm (the sea). He then calms the seas around Aeneas to help them out. Then, Virgil's first political metaphor is used, as he compares the calming of the sea by Neptune to the calming of a crowd by an orator.
