“Iam sibi tum a curvis male temperat unda carinis, Cum medio celeres revolant ex aequore mergi Clamoremque ferunt ad litora, cumque marinae in sicco ludunt fulicae, notasque paludes”

See the billowing waves not spare the curved-keeled boats, as quick loons fly back from the deep and let resound their cry towards the shore, as the sea coot solaces on dry land and herons leave the ponds they know so well and take to the heights, towering over the clouds.
