Spiritus intus alit, totamque infusa per art us 

 Mens agitat niolem, & magno se corpore miscct. 



And please to observe, gentlemen, it is Vir- 

 gil says, it is Anchises speaks, that 

 which I also this day have been saying; 



Inde hominum pecudumque genus, vitaque volantum 

 Et qua marraoreo fert monstra sub aequore pontus.
