[Footnote 1023: Round features.--Ver. 139. See the Pontic Epistles, Book iii Ep. iii. 1. 15, and the Note.] [Footnote 1024: Figure of the tortoise.--Ver. 147. Salmasius thinks that the 'galerus,' or 'wig of false hair,' is alluded to in this passage. Others think that a coif or fillet of net-work is alluded to. He probably means a mode of dressing the hair in the shape of a lyre, with horns on each side projecting outwards. Mercury, the inventor of the lyre, was born on Mount Cyllene, in Arcadia.] [Footnote 1025: The waves.--Ver. 148. Juvenal mentions a mode of dressing the hair to a great height by rows of false curls.] [Footnote 1026: The herbs from Germany.--Ver. 163. He alludes, probably, to herbs brought from Germany, which were burnt for the purpose of making a soap used in turning the hair of a blonde colour. See the Amores, Book i. El. xiv. 1. 1, and the Note.] [Footnote 1027: For money--Ver. 166. See 1. 45 of the above Elegy.] [Footnote 1028: The eyes of Hercules.--Ver. 168. He means that the wig-makers'] shops were in the neighbourhood of the Temple of Hercules Musagetes, in the Flaminian Circus. See the Sixth Book of the Fasti, 1. 801.] [Footnote 1029: Gold flounces.--Ver. 169. 'Segmenta' are probably broad flounces to the dresses inlaid with plates of gold, or gold threads embroidered on them.] [Footnote 1030: On one's person.--Ver. 127. Like our expression, 'To carry a fortune on one's back.'] [Footnote 1031: That art said.--Ver. 175. He refers to the colour of the Ram with the Golden Fleece, that bore Helle and Phryxus over the Hellespont.] [Footnote 1032: Resembles the waves.--Ver. 177. He evidently alluded to dresses which resemble the surface of the waves, and which we term 'watered'; and which the Romans called 'undulatae,' from 'unda,' a 'wave.' Varro makes mention of 'undulatæ togæ.' Some Commentators, however, fancy that he alludes here to colour, meaning 'glaucus,' or 'sea-green,' which Lucretius also calls ' thalassinus.'] [Footnote 1033: Amaryllis.--Ver. 183. See the last Book, 1. 267, and the Note.] [Footnote 1034: And wax.--Ver. 184. Plautus mentions the 'Carinarii,' who dyed garments of a waxen, or yellow colour] [Footnote 1035: Seriphos.--Ver. 192. See the Metamorphoses, Book v. 1. 242, and the Note.] [Footnote 1036: Shocking goat.--Ver. 193. See the Note to 1. 522: of the First Book.] [Footnote 1037: Application of wax.--Ver. 199. Wax is certainly used as a cosmetic, but 'creta' seems to be a preferable reading, as chalk in a powdered state was much used for adding to the fairness of the complexion. Ovid would hardly recommend a cosmetic of so highly injurious a tendency as melted wax.] [Footnote 1038: The eye-brows.--Ver. 201. We learn from Juvenal, that the colour of them was heightened by punctures with a needle being filled with soot.]
