Colleagues,

Is there a searchable online version (or someone's mental equivalent) of Justo
Eduoardo King Naufrago (1637), the collection of elegies that included Milton's
Lycidas?  I'm trying to find important comments on Paradise Lost 11.824-35 ("all
the Cataracts / Of Heav’n set open") and have a note that one of the poems has
the language "God open’d all / Heaven’s cataracts."  I've looked through the
English line ends but don't see it, and don't have the time at present to comb
the text or for that matter to look for cataractae and cognates in the Latin
and Greek.  Can someone point me to a searchable database or happen to
recognize the passage?  My source for the note is putatively "Todd," but I am
not finding it in H. J. Todd's 1809 variorum commentary.

Thanks,

Jameela
