In Luna's gulf, the sea-beat crews carouse.
Luna, a trading town on the gulf of Spezia, said to have been founded by the Etrurian Tarchun.—See Strabo, lib. v.; Cat. Orig. xxv. In a fragment of Ennius, Luna is mentioned. In Lucan's time it was deserted, "desertæ mœnia Lunæ."—Luc. i. 586.
Cœre foretold hath come Rasena!
Rasena was the name which the Etrurians gave to themselves.—Twiss's NIEBUHR, vol. i. c. vii. Muller, die Etrüsker: Dion. i. 30.
The bliss that Northia singles for your lot.
Northia, the Etrurian deity which corresponds with the Fortune of the Romans, but probably with something more of the sterner attributes which the Greek and the Scandinavian gave to the Fates. I cannot but observe here on the similarity in sound and signification between the Etrurian Northia and the Norna of the Scandinavians. Norna with the last is the general term applied to Fate. The Etrurian name for the deities collectively—Æsars, is not dissimilar to that given collectively to their deities by the Scandinavians; viz. Æsir, or Asas.
