Remember your first view of the island, and how it's only woods and water; and suppose you had asked somebody for the name, and he had answered nemorosa Zacynthos! 'Jam medio apparet fluctu! exclaimed Herrick. 'Ye gods, yes, how good! 'If it gets upon the chart, the skippers will make nice work of it, said Attwater. 'But here, come and see the diving-shed.
Now Ilioneus, whom Virgil twice employs in embassies as the best speaker of the Trojans, attributes that tempest to Orion in his speech to Dido: "Cum subito assurgens fluctu nimbosus Orion."
