"Quo subito terrore puer miserabilis acri
Corripitur morbo; parvo is post tempore vitam
Crescentem blandâ cœli sub luce reliquit.
Illum populifer Padus, illum Serius imis
Seriadesque diu Nymphæ flevere sub undis."
Vidæ Poet., lib, i. 216. &c.
My inquiry is after Serius Seriadesque Nymphæ. Where is the Serius? What is the Italian name for this (I presume) tributary of the Po?
