The Sea-Fight.
Pugna Navalis.
[Illustration]
A _Sea-fight_
is terrible,
when huge _Ships_,
like _Castles_,
run one upon another
_Navale prœlium_
terribile est,
quum ingentes _Naves_,
veluti _Arces_,
concurrunt
with their _Beaks_, 1.
or shatter one another
with their _Ordnance_, 2.
_Rostris_, 1.
aut se invicem quassant
_Tormentis_, 2.
and so being bored thorow
they drink in
their own Destruction,
and are _sunk_, 3.
atque ita perforatæ,
imbibunt
perniciem suam
& _submerguntur_, 3.
Or when they are set on fire
and either by the firing
of _Gun-powder_, 4.
Aut quum igne corripiuntur,
& vel ex incendio
_pulveris tormentarii_, 4.
men are blown up into the air,
or are burnt in
the midst of the waters,
or else leaping into
the Sea are drowned.
homines ejiciuntur in ærem,
vel exuruntur in
mediis aquis,
vel etiam desilientes
in mare, suffocantur.
A _Ship_ that flieth away, 5.
is overtaken
by those that _pursue her_, 6.
and is taken.
_Navis_ fugitiva, 5.
intercipitur
ab _insequentibus_, 6.
& capitur.
