Parthenope, Ligia, Leucoſiaq́₃que viri.
Has muſæ explumant, has atque illudit Vlyſſes.
Scilicet eſt doctis cum meretrice nihil.
It is Whitney who provides the poetic comment (p. 10),—
“Withe pleasaunte tunes, the Syrenes did allure
Vlisses wise, to listen to theire songe:
But nothinge could his manlie harte procure,
Hee sailde awaie, and scap’d their charming stronge,
The face, he lik’de, the nether parte, did loathe:
For womans shape, and fishes had they bothe.
