Reading edition
From Statius, Silv. Lib. i. Carm. iv. 120:
immensæ veluti connexa carinæ Cymba minor, cum sævit hyems, pro parte, furentes Parva receptat aquas, et eodem volvitur austro.—Hurd.
Mr. Pope forgot while he wrote ver. 383-6, the censures he had so justly cast, ver. 237, upon that vain desire of an useless immortality—Crousaz.
