"Then might you see shippes sayle where sheepe fedde, ankers cast where ploughes goe, fishermen throw theyr nets, where husbandmen sowe theyr Corne, and fishes throw their scales where fowles do breed theyr quils." Probably suggested by Ovid's description of the Flood, Met. i, 295 ff.: "Ille super segetes aut mersae culmina villae Navigat, hic summa piscem deprendit in ulmo.

Possibly a hazy allusion to Plato, Symp. 215A, where Alcibiades says that Socrates resembles the Silenus-statuettes which serve as caskets for sacred images.

ENDIMION

i, 1, 74. "Whose fall though it be desperate, yet shall it come by daring." Like Phaethon's, Ov. Met. ii, 328, "magnis tamen excidit ausis.” i, 2, 10.

A. iii, 321, “Saxa ferasque lyra movit Rhodopeius Orpheus ... Saxa tuo cantu, vindex iustissime matris, Fecerunt muros officiosa novos; Quamvis mutus erat, voci favisse putatur Piscis, Arioniae fabula nota lyrae.”

THE WOMAN IN THE MOONE

i, 1, 45. "Each Fish that swimmeth in the floating sea, Each winged fowle that soareth in the ayre, And euery beast that feedeth on the ground, Haue mates of pleasure to vpholde their broode." Ov. A.
