Note 43 — WINDSOR FOREST.
Reading edition
Miraturque novas frondes et non sua poma. Virg.—Warburton.
Virgil is treating of grafts, and says that the parent stock, when the slips grow, wonders at leaves and fruit not its own. Here the imagination keeps pace with the description, but stops short before the notion that the trees in the forest wondered to behold the crops of corn.
