To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
11 II. 151-3. 38 Verse 5. Illustrations from the Latin are less numerous. One has already been given from Phaedrus. To this add, from the fable, Cicada et noctua, 4 - Dormire quia me non sinunt cantus tui, Sonare cithara quos putes Apollinis, &c. In Virgil's Culex 151 the "argutae cicadae" are mentioned in connexion with the "dulcia carmina" of birds. The epithet "querulae" in Georg III. 38 does not describe the grasshopper's note as unpleasant. See Culex 149. In one place we find "raucis cicad...is", which may seem to imply that their sound was held to be unpleasant : O crudelis Alexi, nihil men carmina curas? Nil nostri miserere? mori me denique coges. Nunc etiam pecudes umbras et frigora captant; Nunc virides etiam occultant spineta lacertos; Thestylis et rapido fessis messoribus aestu Allia serpyllumque herbas contundit olentes: At mecum raucis, tua dum vestigia lustro, Sole sub ardenti resonant arbusta cicadis. Eel. II. 6. But this exactly illustrates the proposed interpre- tation of n^fin bnno" 1, since it is a person in an un- happy frame of mind to whom the cicada sounds hoarse.
