Virgil had that love of rivers which, I think, a poet is rarely without; and it did not need Greece to teach him to sing of the fields: Propter aquam, tardis ingens ubi flexibus Mincius et tenera praetexit arundine ripas. "By the water-side, where mighty Mincius wanders, with links and loops, and fringes all the banks with the tender reed."
Me vero primum dulces ante omnia Musae, Quarum sacra fero ingenti perculsus amore, Accipiant; coelique vias et sidera monstrent; Defectus Solis varios, Lunaeque labores: Unde tremor terris: qua vi maria alta tumescant Obicibus ruptis, rursusque in seipsa residant: Quid tantum Oceano properent se tingere soles Hiberni: vel quae tardis mora noctibus obstet. Geor. ii. 1. 591, etc.
