Seneca, Œd. ii. prope fin.
The dolphin curved pursues the flying sails.
Strictaque pendentes deducunt carbasa nautæ.—Lucan, ii. 697.
The mariners confine the sails with cords,
And, clinging to the mast, they take them down.
Recto deprendit carbasa malo. ix. 324.
The mast stands upright; he takes down the sails.
Jamque adeo egressi steterant in littore primo,
Et promota, ratis pendentibus arbore nautis,
Aptabant sensim pulsanti carbasa vento.
