Another Jonah-swallowing Monster...

...but this time not a cetus! In this instance Juvencus instead uses belua. This one occurs in a speech of Christ to the Pharisees and Sadducees (3.224-35). Here are the relevant lines (3.233-5):
"...Sed vobis signa dabuntur,
quae maris immenso quondam venere profundo,
belua cum tenuit ventris sub carcere vatem."

    If my family tree goes back to the Romans
    Then I will change my name to Jones
    If my family tree goes back to Napolean
    Then I will change my name to Smith
    If my family tree goes back to the Romans
    Then I will change my name to Jones

    I have been listening to Belle and Sebastian, and well, this is random, but there you go. But come on, Roman and Jones. I will actually respond to your emails soon I hope, Augustine test tomorrow first.
