Vergil, Georgics, 1.20-1.42
et teneram ab radice ferens, Silvane, cupressum Thy native forest and Lycean lawns
dique deaeque omnes, studium quibus arva tueri Pan, shepherd-god, forsaking, as the love
quique novas alitis non ullo semine fruges Of thine own Maenalus constrains thee, hear
quique satis largum caelo demittitis imbrem; And help, O lord of
tuque adeo, quem mox quae sint habitura deorum Minerva, from whose hand the olive sprung;
concilia, incertum est, urbisne invisere, Caesar And boy-discoverer of the curved plough;
terrarumque velis curam et te maximus orbis And, bearing a young cypress root-uptorn
auctorem frugum tempestatumque potentem Silvanus, and Gods all and Goddesses
accipiat, cingens materna tempora myrto Who make the fields your care, both ye who nurse
an deus inmensi venias maris ac tua nautae The tender unsown increase, and from heaven
numina sola colant, tibi serviat ultima Thule Shed on man's sowing the riches of your rain:
teque sibi generum Tethys emat omnibus undis And thou, even thou, of whom we know not yet
anne novum tardis sidus te mensibus addas What mansion of the skies shall hold thee soon
qua locus Erigonen inter Chelasque sequentis Whether to watch o'er cities be thy will
panditur—ipse tibi iam bracchia contrahit ardens Great Caesar, and to take the earth in charge
Scorpius et caeli iusta plus parte reliquit— That so the mighty world may welcome thee
quidquid eris,—nam te nec sperant Tartara regem Lord of her increase, master of her times
nec tibi regnandi veniat tam dira cupido Binding thy mother's myrtle round thy brow
quamvis Elysios miretur Graecia campos Or as the boundless ocean's God thou come
nec repetita sequi curet Proserpina matrem— Sole dread of seamen, till far
da facilem cursum atque audacibus adnue coeptis Before thee, and Tethys win thee to her son
ignarosque viae mecum miseratus agrestis With all her waves for dower; or as a star
ingredere et votis iam nunc adsuesce vocari. Lend thy fresh beams our lagging months to cheer

With barm and service sour the wine-cup mock. 4.1. of air-born honey, gift of heaven, I now 4.2. Take up the tale. Upon this theme no le 4.3. Look thou, Maecenas, with indulgent eye. 4.4. A marvellous display of puny powers 4.5. High-hearted chiefs, a nation's history 4.6. Its traits, its bent, its battles and its clans 4.7. All, each, shall pass before you, while I sing. 4.149. Makes the trim garden smile; of placeName key= 4.150. Whose roses bloom and fade and bloom again; 4.151. How endives glory in the streams they drink 4.152. And green banks in their parsley, and how the gourd 4.170. With unbought plenty heaped his board on high. 4.171. He was the first to cull the rose in spring 4.172. He the ripe fruits in autumn; and ere yet 4.173. Winter had ceased in sullen ire to rive 4.174. The rocks with frost, and with her icy bit 4.175. Curb in the running waters, there was he 4.453. Exclaimed, “Cyrene, sister, not for naught 4.454. Scared by a groan so deep, behold! 'tis he 4.455. Even Aristaeus, thy heart's fondest care 4.456. Here by the brink of the Peneian sire 4.457. Stands woebegone and weeping, and by name 4.458. Cries out upon thee for thy cruelty.” 4.459. To whom, strange terror knocking at her heart 4.460. “Bring, bring him to our sight,” the mother cried; 4.461. “His feet may tread the threshold even of Gods.” 4.462. So saying, she bids the flood yawn wide and yield 4.463. A pathway for his footsteps; but the wave 4.464. Arched mountain-wise closed round him, and within 4.465. Its mighty bosom welcomed, and let speed 4.466. To the deep river-bed. And now, with eye 4.467. of wonder gazing on his mother's hall 4.468. And watery kingdom and cave-prisoned pool 4.469. And echoing groves, he went, and, stunned by that 4.470. Stupendous whirl of waters, separate saw 4.471. All streams beneath the mighty earth that glide 4.472. Phasis and Lycus, and that fountain-head 4.473. Whence first the deep Enipeus leaps to light 4.474. Whence father placeName key= 4.475. And Hypanis that roars amid his rocks 4.476. And Mysian Caicus, and, bull-browed 4.477. 'Twixt either gilded horn, placeName key= 4.478. Than whom none other through the laughing plain 4.479. More furious pours into the purple sea. 4.480. Soon as the chamber's hanging roof of stone 4.481. Was gained, and now Cyrene from her son 4.482. Had heard his idle weeping, in due course 4.483. Clear water for his hands the sisters bring 4.484. With napkins of shorn pile, while others heap 4.485. The board with dainties, and set on afresh 4.486. The brimming goblets; with Panchaian fire 4.487. Upleap the altars; then the mother spake 4.488. “Take beakers of Maconian wine,” she said 4.489. “Pour we to Ocean.” Ocean, sire of all 4.490. She worships, and the sister-nymphs who guard 4.491. The hundred forests and the hundred streams; 4.492. Thrice Vesta's fire with nectar clear she dashed 4.493. Thrice to the roof-top shot the flame and shone: 4.494. Armed with which omen she essayed to speak: 4.495. “In Neptune's gulf Carpathian dwells a seer 4.496. Caerulean Proteus, he who metes the main 4.497. With fish-drawn chariot of two-footed steeds; 4.498. Now visits he his native home once more 4.499. Pallene and the Emathian ports; to him 4.500. We nymphs do reverence, ay, and Nereus old; 4.501. For all things knows the seer, both those which are 4.502. And have been, or which time hath yet to bring; 4.503. So willed it Neptune, whose portentous flocks 4.504. And loathly sea-calves 'neath the surge he feeds. 4.505. Him first, my son, behoves thee seize and bind 4.506. That he may all the cause of sickness show 4.507. And grant a prosperous end. For save by force 4.508. No rede will he vouchsafe, nor shalt thou bend 4.509. His soul by praying; whom once made captive, ply 4.510. With rigorous force and fetters; against these 4.511. His wiles will break and spend themselves in vain. 4.512. I, when the sun has lit his noontide fires 4.513. When the blades thirst, and cattle love the shade 4.514. Myself will guide thee to the old man's haunt 4.515. Whither he hies him weary from the waves 4.516. That thou mayst safelier steal upon his sleep. 4.517. But when thou hast gripped him fast with hand and gyve 4.518. Then divers forms and bestial semblance 4.519. Shall mock thy grasp; for sudden he will change 4.520. To bristly boar, fell tigress, dragon scaled 4.521. And tawny-tufted lioness, or send forth 4.522. A crackling sound of fire, and so shake of 4.523. The fetters, or in showery drops anon 4.524. Dissolve and vanish. But the more he shift 4.525. His endless transformations, thou, my son 4.526. More straitlier clench the clinging bands, until 4.527. His body's shape return to that thou sawest 4.560. Forestalled him with the fetters; he nathless 4.561. All unforgetful of his ancient craft 4.562. Transforms himself to every wondrous thing
