[530] “Iam iamque tenet, similisque tenenti Increpuit malis” 12. 754. ‘Premit’ is rightly taken by Henry in its ordinary sense, “is close upon him with the spear,” so that ‘volnere insequitur’ is parallel to ‘premit hasta.’ He also remarks that ‘iam iamque’ has nothing to do with ‘premit,’ but is confined to ‘tenet.’
