In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

  • Judith Peller Hallet
  • David J. Murphy

Multas per gentes et multa per aequora vecta,1O—quam te memorem, dea?2—vel volans croceis perCaelum roscida pinnis,3 sive reliqueris amnesVirginiae lutulentos, sive cacumina MontisAlcis,4 res nostras afflictas restituebas.Fortunas emendavisti colloquiorum,Saepe magistris et sociis aere auxiliata es,Et quotiens referunt fluctus nos in mare saevi,Vi ingenioque tuo navis portum occupat aequa.5Grati igitur, Judith, plaudamus perpetuo te.Ante diem vii Idus OctobresAnno MMDCCLXII ab Urbe Condita.
