pomewater

Updated: May 19, 2025

"The deer was, as you know, sanguis, in blood, ripe as the pomewater, who now hangeth like a jewel in the ear of caelo, the sky, the welkin, the heaven; and anon falleth like a crab on the face of terra, the soil, the land, the earth." Three English equivalents are here given for each of the Latin terms caelo and terra.
