<P> The Sorceress / Sorcerer is plotting the destruction of Carthage and its queen , and summons companions to help with evil plans . The plan is to send her `` trusted elf '' disguised as Mercury , someone to whom Aeneas will surely listen , to tempt him to leave Dido and sail to Italy . This would leave Dido heartbroken , and she would surely die . The chorus join in with terrible laughter , and the Enchantresses decide to conjure up a storm to make Dido and her train leave the grove and return to the palace . When the spell is prepared , the witches vanish in a thunderclap . </P>
