Poem of the Day: N.Oswald.Vers

Vasta palus, piscosa nimis, sua dindima pandit,
Ut nova sint heremi claustra reperta tibi.
Nam qua coruifere consurgit proditor hydre
Insula siluoso gurgite pulchra nitet
Et qua splendentis se mergunt lora Bootis
Pons est inde suis peruius Angligenis.
Qua Cynosura poli fixum regit undique girum,
Anguillosa palus nescit habere modum,
Unde refert umbras, uaga lux, Phebea sinistras,
Terra patet, nullo continuata uado.
...
