Note 25 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
Thus likewise translated with great beauty of poetry, and sufficient fidelity to the original:
Ut lunam circa fulgent cum lucida pulchro Astra choro, nusquam cœlo dum nubila, nusquam Aerios turbant ventorum flamina campos; Apparent speculæ, nemoroso et vertice montes Frondiferi et saltus; late se fulgidus æther Pandit in immensum, penitusque abstrusa remoto Signa polo produnt longe sese omnia; gaudet Visa tuens, hæretque immoto lumine pastor. Ilias Lat. vers. a Raym. Cunighio, Rom. 1776.
