[528]. Engyn is accented on the latter syllable, as in Troil. ii. 565, iii. 274.

[529]. Egle, the eagle in l. 499; cf. ll. 503-7.

[534]. Partly imitated from Dante, Purg. ix. 28-30:—

'Poi mi parea che, più rotata un poco,

Terribil come fulgor discendesse,

E me rapisse suso infino al foco.'

Cary's translation is:—

'A little wheeling in his aëry tour,

Terrible as the lightning, rushed he down,

And snatch'd me upward even to the fire.'
