Well, therefore, may the soul, in such a situation, pathetically exclaim with Proserpina : 154 Bacchic Mysteries. O male dileeti flores, despeetaque matris Consilia : O Veneris deprensse serius artes ! * But, according to Minutius Felix, Proserpina was carried by Pluto tlu-ough thick woods, and over a length of sea, and brought into a cavern, the residence of the dead : where by 'woods a material nature is plainly implied, as we have already observed in the first part of this discourse ; and wh...ere the reader may likewise observe the agreement of the de- scription in this particular with that of Yvn- gil in the descent of his hero : Tenent media omnia silvce Coeytusque sinuque labens, cireumvenit atro. T In these words the woods are expressly mentioned; and the ocean has an evident agreement with Cocytus, signifying the out- flowing condition of a material nature, and the sorrows and sufferings attending its con- nection with the soul. * Oh flowers fatally dear, and the mother's cautions despised : Oh cruel arts of cunning Venus !
