86 Ferraraj Ravenna, Rimini.
From Fenice to Ancona the Tide
comes in very sensibly at its stated Pe-
riods, but rises more or less in proportion
as it advances nearer the Head of the
Gulf. Lucan has run out of his way to
describe this Phenomenon., which is" in-
deed very extraordinary to those who
lye out of the Neighbourhood of the
great Ocean, and, according to his u-
sual Cullom, lets his Poem Hand still
that he may give way to his own Re-
ssections.
Quaque jacet littus dubium^ quod terra fre-
tumque
Fendicat alternis vicibusi cum funditur in-
gens
Oceanus, vel cum refugis fe siuftibus aufert.
Fentus ab extreme pelagus fic axe volutet
Deftituatque ferens : an fidere mota fecundo
tfethyos unda vag<e Lunaribus eftuet horis:
Flammiger an Litan^ ut alentes hauriat
undas,
Rrigat Oceanum fluttufaue adfidera toll at
Quarite quos agitat mundi labor: at mihi
semper
?u quecunque moves tam crebros caufa
meatus^
Ut superi voluere^ late.-yyyy-^-- Lib. i.
