Note 253 — BOOK III.
William Julius Mickle translation
Though wove.—It may perhaps be objected that this is ungrammatical. But—
——Usus Quem penes arbitrium est, et jus et norma loquendi.
and Dryden, Pope, etc., often use wove as a participle in place of the harsh-sounding woven, a word almost incompatible with the elegance of versification.
