Vergil, Georgics, 1.425-1.435


ordine respicies, numquam te crastina falletAnd through what heavenly cycles wandereth


hora neque insidiis noctis capiere serenae.The glowing orb Cyllenian. Before all


Luna, revertentis cum primum colligit ignisWorship the Gods, and to great Ceres pay


si nigrum obscuro conprenderit aera cornuHer yearly dues upon the happy sward


maxumus agricolis pelagoque parabitur imber;With sacrifice, anigh the utmost end


at si virgineum suffuderit ore ruboremOf winter, and when Spring begins to smile.


ventus erit; vento semper rubet aurea Phoebe.Then lambs are fat, and wines are mellowest then;


Sin ortu quarto, namque is certissimus auctorThen sleep is sweet, and dark the shadows fall


pura neque obtunsis per caelum cornibus ibitUpon the mountains. Let your rustic youth


totus et ille dies et qui nascentur ab illoTo Ceres do obeisance, one and all;


exactum ad mensem pluvia ventisque carebuntAnd for her pleasure thou mix honeycomb

1.176. And hem with hounds the mighty forest-glades. 1.177. Soon one with hand-net scourges the broad stream 1.178. Probing its depths, one drags his dripping toil 1.179. Along the main; then iron's unbending might 1.180. And shrieking saw-blade,—for the men of old 1.181. With wedges wont to cleave the splintering log;— 1.182. Then divers arts arose; toil conquered all 1.183. Remorseless toil, and poverty's shrewd push 1.184. In times of hardship. Ceres was the first 1.185. Set mortals on with tools to turn the sod 1.186.

Mark too, what time the walnut in the wood 1.239. With ample bloom shall clothe her, and bow down 1.240. Her odorous branches, if the fruit prevail 1.241. Like store of grain will follow, and there shall come 1.242. A mighty winnowing-time with mighty heat; 1.243. But if the shade with wealth of leaves abound 1.244. Vainly your threshing-floor will bruise the stalk 1.245. Rich but in chaff. Many myself have seen 1.246. Steep, as they sow, their pulse-seeds, drenching them 1.247.
