Note 177 — Chapter VI · CLASSIFICATION OF THE CORRESPONDENCIES AND PARALLELISMS OF SHAKESPEARE WITH EMBLEM WRITERS. (continued 4)

The original lines are,—

“Innvmeris agitur Respublica nostra procellis,

Et spes venturæ sola salutis adest:

Non secus ac nauis medio circum æquore, venti,

Quam rapiunt; falsis tamq. fatiscit aquis.

Quòd si Helenæ adueniant lucentia sidera fratres:

Amissos animos spes bona restituit.”
