Bucolics

...from which [it follows] that some play on the shore in water left behind by rivers in a pool. From this, a person could have seen [themselves], because that [circumstance] rules out [distortion] when the sea stood calm, untroubled by winds Referring to Virgil, Eclogue 2.26: "cum placidum ventis staret mare". But in the sea, an image is not usually retained because the wind blows; for if it stood still, it would not fail to return an image to us in all respects.

Daphnis

I am not Daphnis Eclogue 2.26: "nec cum Daphnide ego". Corydon compares himself to the legendary shepherd Daphnis. Daphnis was the son [of Mercury], the most beautiful of youths, I believe, who was the first to be a shepherd in Sicily original: "Inctiuo", likely a corruption of "Siculo". If the image does not deceive me. Nothing of a god's creation or "no thing" deceives in such a way as an image; for even in a mirror it shows everything distorted, and in water a whole thing is seen as if it were broken original: "fractum", which Cicero also teaches more fully in his Academics original: "in insulanis"; referring to Cicero's discussion of optical illusions, such as a straight oar appearing broken in water.
