and wide The heavy corn´crop from its lowest roots�察�And toss it skyward�此�

so might winter's flaw�察�Dark´eddying�察�whirl light stalks and flying straws。 

Oft too comes looming vast along the sky A march of waters�察�mustering 

from above�察�The clouds roll up the tempest�察�heaped and grim With angry 

showers�此�down falls the height of heaven�察�And with a great rain floods the 

smiling   crops�察  �The   oxen's   labour�此  �now   the   dikes   fill   fast�察  �And   the   void 

river´beds   swell   thunderously�察 �And   all   the   panting   firths   of   Ocean   boil。 

The Sire himself in midnight of the clouds Wields with red hand the levin�察�

through   all   her   bulk   Earth   at   the   hurly   quakes�察  �the   beasts   are   fled�察�And 

mortal hearts of   every kindred sunk   In cowering terror�察�he with   flaming 

brand   Athos�察  �or   Rhodope�察  �or   Ceraunian   crags   Precipitates�此  �then   doubly 

raves the  South With   shower on   blinding shower�察 �and woods   and   coasts 

Wail fitfully beneath the mighty blast。 This fearing�察�mark the months and 

Signs of heaven�察�Whither retires him Saturn's icy star�察�And through what 

heavenly cycles wandereth The glowing orb Cyllenian。 Before all Worship 

the Gods�察�and to great Ceres pay Her yearly dues upon the happy sward 

With sacrifice�察�anigh the utmost end Of winter�察�and when Spring begins to 

smile。  Then   lambs   are   fat�察  �and   wines   are   mellowest   then�察  �Then   sleep   is

sweet�察  �and   dark   the   shadows   fall   Upon   the   mountains。   Let   your   rustic 

youth To Ceres do obeisance�察�one and all�察�And for her pleasure thou mix 

honeycombs With milk and the ripe wine´god�察�thrice for luck Around the 

young corn let the victim go�察�And all the choir�察�a joyful company�察�Attend it�察�

and with shouts bid Ceres come To be their house´mate�察�and let no man 

dare   Put   sickle   to   the   ripened   ears   until�察  �With   woven   oak   his   temples 

chapleted�察  �He   foot the   rugged dance   and   chant   the   lay。          Aye�察  �and   that 

these things we might win to know By certain tokens�察�heats�察�and showers�察�

and   winds   That   bring   the   frost�察  �the   Sire   of   all   himself   Ordained   what 

warnings   in   her   monthly   round   The   moon   should   give�察  �what   bodes   the 

south   wind's   fall�察  �What   oft´repeated   sights   the   herdsman   seeing   Should 

keep his cattle closer to their stalls。 No sooner are the winds at point to rise�察�

Than   either   Ocean's   firths   begin   to   toss And   swell�察  �and   a   dry   crackling 

sound is heard Upon the heights�察�or one loud ferment booms The beach 

afar�察�and through the forest goes A murmur multitudinous。 By this Scarce 

can the billow spare the curved keels�察�When swift the sea´gulls from the 

middle main Come winging�察�and their shrieks are shoreward borne�察�When 

ocean´loving   cormorants   on   dry   land   Besport   them�察  �and   the   hern�察  �her 

marshy haunts Forsaking�察�mounts above the soaring cloud。 Oft�察�too�察�when 

wind   is   toward�察  �the   stars   thou'lt   see   From   heaven   shoot   headlong�察  �and 

through murky night Long trails of fire white´glistening in their wake�察�Or 

light chaff flit in air with fallen leaves�察�Or feathers on the wave´top float 

and play。 But when from regions of the furious North It lightens�察�and when 

thunder      fills  the  halls   Of   Eurus     and   of   Zephyr�察   �all  the   fields   With 

brimming dikes are flooded�察�and at sea No mariner but furls his dripping 

sails。 Never at unawares did shower annoy�此�Or�察�as it rises�察�the high´soaring 

cranes Flee to the vales before it�察�with face Upturned to heaven�察�the heifer 

snuffs     the   gale   Through      gaping    nostrils�察  �or   about    the   meres    Shrill´ 

twittering   flits   the   swallow�察  �and   the   frogs   Crouch   in   the   mud   and   chant 

their dirge of old。 Oft�察�too�察�the ant from out her inmost cells�察�Fretting the 

narrow path�察�her eggs conveys�察�Or the huge bow sucks moisture�察�or a host 

Of   rooks   from   food   returning   in   long   line   Clamour   with   jostling   wings。 

Now   mayst   thou   see   The   various   ocean´fowl   and   those   that   pry   Round 

Asian meads within thy fresher´pools�察�Cayster�察�as in eager rivalry�察�About

their shoulders dash the plenteous spray�察�Now duck their head beneath the 

wave�察�now run Into the billows�察�for sheer idle joy Of their mad bathing´ 

revel。 Then the crow With full voice�察�good´for´naught�察�inviting rain�察�Stalks 

on   the   dry   sand   mateless   and   alone。   Nor   e'en   the   maids�察  �that   card   their 

nightly task�察�Know not the storm´sign�察�when in blazing crock They see the 

lamp´oil        sputtering       with      a    growth       Of      mouldy       snuff´clots。 

So too�察�after rain�察�Sunshine and open skies thou mayst forecast�察�And learn 

by tokens sure�察�for then nor dimmed Appear the stars' keen edges�察�nor the 

moon As   borrowing   of   her   brother's   beams   to   rise�察  �Nor   fleecy   films   to 

float   along   the   sky。   Not   to   the   sun's   warmth   then   upon   the   shore   Do 

halcyons dear to Thetis ope their wings�察�Nor filthy swine take thought to 

toss on   high With   scattering snout the   straw´wisps。   But the   clouds   Seek 

more the vales�察�and rest upon the plain�察�And from the roof´top the night´ 

owl     for  naught    Watching      the   sunset   plies   her   'lated  song。    Distinct   in 

clearest   air   is   Nisus   seen Towering�察  �and   Scylla   for   the   purple   lock   Pays 

dear�察�for whereso�察�as she flies�察�her wings The light air winnow�察�lo� �fierce�察�

implacable�察      �Nisus    with   mighty     whirr   through     heaven     pursues�察   �Where 

Nisus heavenward soareth�察�there her wings Clutch as she flies�察�the light air 

winnowing still。 Soft then the voice of rooks from indrawn throat Thrice�察�

four   times�察  �o'er   repeated�察  �and   full   oft   On   their   high   cradles�察  �by   some 

hidden joy Gladdened beyond their wont�察�in bustling throngs Among the 

leaves they riot�察�so sweet it is�察�When showers are spent�察�their own loved 

nests   again   And   tender   brood   to   visit。   Not�察  �I   deem�察  �That   heaven   some 

native wit to these assigned�察�Or fate a larger prescience�察�but that when The 

storm and shifting moisture of the air Have changed their courses�察�and the 

sky´god now�察�Wet with the south´wind�察�thickens what was rare�察�And what 

was   gross   releases�察  �then�察  �too�察  �change   Their   spirits'   fleeting   phases�察  �and 

their breasts Feel other motions now�察�than when the wind Was driving up 

the   cloud´rack。      Hence    proceeds     That    blending     of  the  feathered     choirs 

afield�察   �The    cattle's   exultation�察   �and   the   rooks'    Deep´throated       triumph。 

But if the headlong sun And moons in order following thou regard�察�Ne'er 

will to´morrow's hour deceive thee�察�ne'er Wilt thou be caught by guile of 

cloudless night。 When first the moon recalls her rallying fires�察�If dark the 

air   clipped   by   her   crescent   dim�察  �For   folks   afield   and   on   the   open   sea A

mighty   rain   is   brewing�察  �but   if   her   face   With   maiden   blush   she   mantle�察�

'twill be wind�察�For wind turns Phoebe still to ruddier gold。 But if at her 

fourth rising�察�for 'tis that Gives surest counsel�察�clear she ride thro' heaven 

With horns unblunted�察�then shall that whole day�察�And to the month's end 

those that spring from it�察�Rainless and windless be�察�while safe ashore Shall 

sailors   pay   their   vows   to   Panope�察  �Glaucus�察  �and   Melicertes�察  �Ino's   child。

shrinks   mid´circle�察  �then   of   showers   beware�察  �For   then   the   South   comes 

driving   from   the   deep�察  �To   trees   and   crops   and   cattle   bringing   bane。   Or 

when at day´break through dark clouds his rays Burst and are scattered�察�or 

when rising pale Aurora quits Tithonus' saffron bed�察�But sorry shelter then�察�

alack   I   will   yield   Vine´leaf   to   ripening   grapes�察  �so   thick   a   hail   In   spiky 

showers spins rattling on the roof。 And this yet more 'twill boot thee bear

decline�此�for oft we see Upon the sun's own face strange colours stray�察�Dark

Then   all   the   heavens   convulsed   in   wrath   thou'lt   see´   Storm´clouds   and 

wind together。 Me that night Let no man bid fare forth upon the deep�察�Nor 

rend the rope from shore。 But if�察�when both He brings again and hides the 

day's return�察�Clear´orbed he shineth��idly wilt thou dread The storm´clouds�察�

and beneath the lustral North See the woods waving。 What late eve in fine 

Bears in her bosom�察�whence the wind that brings Fair´weather´clouds�察�or 

what the   rain   South   Is  meditating�察  �tokens   of   all these The   sun   will   give 

thee。 Who dare charge the sun With leasing�拭�He it is who warneth oft Of 

hidden broils at hand and treachery�察�And secret swelling of the waves of 

war。 He too it was�察�when Caesar's light was quenched�察�For Rome had pity�察�

when his   bright   head   he veiled   In   iron´hued   darkness�察 �till   a godless   age 

Trembled for night eternal�察�at that time Howbeit earth also�察�and the ocean´
