Note 422 — IV PAGEANTRY
Reading edition
M. N. D. 11. i. 148:
'Thou rememb'rest Since once I sat upon a promontory. And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath, That the rude sea grew civil at her song, And certain stars shot madly from their spheres, To hear the sea-maid's music.'
On the chronology, cf. Sh. Homage, 154.
