The twelfth Designe.

COrvinus ¹ come, see ² Juvenal perform His vow, made for Catullus in a storm. This ³ Lamb to ³ Juno, ⁴ that to ⁴ Pallas I Will sacrifice, to ⁵ Jove this ⁵ Calf shall die Vpon green Turfe, which I will kiss with tears For joy that earth once more Catullus beares. That ⁶ draught of his sad wrack to me he sent To be hung up a votive Monument, With more such woefull Pictures, in the Fane Of ⁷ Ceres, Goddess of our watry Plaine: How low the Tempest makes his tall Ship dive! Whil'st fire and water, waves and lightning, strive Which shall devour her; the Lavinian Key Stretching its stony arms into the Sea, Would rescue her: and to the Lee they steer her, To meet th' embracing Port, but Death is neerer. Down goes the Mast, the Bark is lay'd at hull, Still still she bulges, she is stow'd too full: Now her rich lading over-board they cast; Plate, purple Wool, rare Baskets: all hope past, The Sun breaks out, the Wind turns gentle aire; The day was dismal, but the evening faire.
