L. 6. _tout se jette._ _Tout_, i.e. _tout le monde_, as in 'Femmes,
moines, vieillards, _tout_ était descendu.'--La Fontaine, _Fables_,
VIII. ix. 4. The verb agrees with _tout_, which sums up the enumeration.
Ayer, §217, 3 _b_.
L. 8. _Il remplit et couronne._ Not of course in the sense in which
Milton writes: 'Eve... their flowing cups With pleasant liquors
_crown'd'_ (_Paradise Lost_, v. 444). This sense is unknown in French.
But see Rich, _Dict. of Roman and Greek Antiq._, s.v. 'coronatus.'
L. 19. _dieux humides_, water-gods. Thus Boileau: 'Il [le Rhin] voit
fuir à grands pas ses naïades craintives Qui toutes accourant vers leur
_humide_ roi...'--_Ep._ iv. This invocation is taken from Propertius,
III. vii. 57.
