"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?
