A N | IV Eid. | VI.469-472, the constellation Dolphin rises in the evening.
At simul auritis violae demuntur asellis,
et Cereris fruges aspera saxa terunt, 470
navita puppe sedens “Delphina videbimus,” inquit
“umida cum pulso nox erit orta die.”
469 But as soon as the long-eared asses are stripped of their violets, and the rough millstones grind the fruits of Ceres, the sailor, sitting at the poop, says, “We shall see the Dolphin, when the day is put to flight and dank night has mounted up.”1

Correct for true evening rising; apparent, May 26.
Could I get some help on the grammar of the last line, perhaps? I am a tad confused of how the pulso and Orta work? Sorry if this is the wrong forum for the question
