et quo mixta putes magis aspera levibus esse principiis, unde est Neptuni corpus acerbum, est ratio secernendi, seorsumque videndi umor dulcis, ubi per terras crebrius idem percolatur, ut in foveam fluat ac mansuescat; linquit enim supera taetri primordia viri, aspera quom magis in terris haerescere possint.
And to show you more clearly that there are rough elements mixed with smooth which produce Neptunes bitter body, there is a way to separate them, and to see-how the sweet water, when the same is filtered through earth several times, runs separately into a pit and loses its saltness; for it leaves above the elements of the nauseous brine, since the rough ones can more easily stick in the earth.
