Hither the tideBrings wreck and corpse, and, burying with the flow, Restores them with the ebb: and when the cavesBelch forth the ocean, swirling billows fallIn boisterous surges back, as boils the tideIn that famed whirlpool on Sicilian shores.
Here, with Venetian settlers for its load, Stood motionless the raft. Octavius' shipsGathered around, while foemen on the l...andFilled all the shore.
