In these lines, Aeneas is complaining. He's basically saying, "Why couldn't I die back in Troy? Why do I have to lead this awful journey?". During his little spiel, Aeneas's ships are caught up in a storm that tears them apart and makes it impossible to navigate. The helmsman on one of the ships is thrown overboard and is lost to the waves, and the tempest causes the ships to lose all control.
