    • 1825, “Libro IX [Book 9]”, in Vincenzo Monti, transl., Iliade [Iliad], Milan: Giovanni Resnati e Gius. Bernardoni di Gio, translation of Ἰλιάς (Iliás) by Homer, published 1840, page 182, lines 6–12:
      [] in quella guisa,
      Che il pescoso Oceàno si rabbuffa,
      Quando improvviso dalla tracia tana
      Di Ponente sorgiunge e d’Aquilone
      L’impetuoso soffio; alto s’estolle
      L’onda e si sparge di molt’alga il lido;
      Tale è l’interna degli Achei tempesta.
      In a manner similar to how the fishful ocean swells when, from the Thracian lair, suddenly the impetuous blowing of the west and north winds comes, [and] the wave rises high, scattering lots of algae on the beach; such is the Achaeans’ inner storm.
