Black Sands, decolour’d Froth, and min-
gled Mud arise.
The frighted Billows roll, and seek the
Shores:

I don’t see why Virgil in this noble
Comparison has given the Epithet of
Alta to Procita, for it is not only no
high Issand in it self, but is much lower
than Ischia^ and all the Points of Land
that lye within its Neighbourhood. I
fhould think Ata was join’d adverbially

Equivocal a Syntax. I cannot forbear
inserting in this Place, the lame Imita-
