70 -- l. 10 _Mona_: Anglesea, called by the Welsh poets, the Dark Island, from its dense forests. _Deva_ (l. 11) the Dee: a river which may have derived its magical character from Celtic traditions: it was long the boundary of Briton and English.--These places are introduced, as being near the scene of the shipwreck. _Orpheus_ (l. 14) was torn to pieces by Thracian women. _Amaryllis_ and _Neaera_ (l. 24, 25) names used here for the love-idols of poets: as _Damoetas_ previously for a shepherd. L. 31 _the blind Fury_: Atropos, fabled to cut the thread of life. 71 89 _Arethuse_ (l. 1) and _Mincius_: Sicilian and Italian waters here alluded to as representing the pastoral poetry of Theocritus and Vergil. L. 4 _oat_: pipe, used here like Collins' _oaten stop_ l. 1, No. 186, for _Song_. L. 12 _Hippotades_: Aeolus, god of the Winds. _Panope_ (l. 15) a Nereid. Certain names of local deities in the Hellenic mythology render some feature in the natural landscape, which the Greeks studied and analysed with their usual unequalled insight and feeling. _Panope_ seems to express the boundlessness of the ocean-horizon when seen from a height, as compared with the limited sky-line of the land in hilly countries such as Greece or Asia Minor. _Camus_ (l. 19) the Cam: put for King's University. _The sanguine flower_ (l. 22) the Hyacinth of the ancients: probably our Iris. _The Pilot_ (l. 25) Saint Peter, figuratively introduced as the head of the Church on earth, to foretell 'the ruin of our corrupted clergy,' as Milton regarded them, 'then in their heighth' under Laud's primacy. 72 -- l. 1 _scrannel_: screeching; apparently Milton's coinage (Masson). L. 5 _the wolf_: the Puritans of the time were excited to alarm and persecution by a few conversions to Roman Catholicism which had recently occurred. _Alpheus_ (l. 9) a stream in Southern Greece, supposed to flow underseas to join the Arethuse. _Swart star_ (l. 15) the Dog-star, called swarthy because its heliacal rising in ancient times occurred soon after midsummer: l. 19 _rathe_: early. L. 36 _moist vows_: either tearful prayers, or prayers for one at sea. _Bellerus_ (l. 37) a giant, apparently created here by Milton to personify Belerium, the ancient title of the Land's End. _The great Vision_:--the story was that the Archangel Michael had appeared on the rock by Marazion in Mount's Bay which bears his name. Milton calls on him to turn his eyes from the south homeward, and to pity Lycidas, if his body has drifted into the troubled waters off the Land's End. Finisterre being the land due south of Marazion, two places in that district (then through our trade with Corunna probably less unfamiliar to English ears), are named,--_Namancos_ now Mujio in Galicia, _Bayona_ north of the Minho, or perhaps a fortified rock (one of the _Cies_ Islands) not unlike Saint Michael's Mount, at the entrance of Vigo Bay. 73 89 l. 6 _ore_: rays of golden light. _Doric_ lay (l. 25) Sicilian, pastoral.
