" -- Inspited by Pontanus' poetic
description of ships ("equos illos velivolos et ligneos"),
Smetius uses a Vergilian metaphor to denote the lakes and the sea: the
phrase "campos liquentes" is found in Aeneis 6. "(49) Probably, the same Homeric verse
underlies Folly's statement "Nec aliud fronte simulo, aliud in
pectore premo" (74, 69), in which she also uses a line of Vergil,
as Miller notes, namely Aeneis 1, 209 "Spem vultu simulat, premit
altum corde dolorem" ("He feigns hope on his face, and deep in
his heart stifles the anguish" . |
