titan arms and branches far�察�Sole central pillar of a world of shade。                  Nor 

toward the sunset let thy vineyards slope�察�Nor midst the vines plant hazel�察�

neither   take   The   topmost   shoots   for   cuttings�察  �nor   from   the   top   Of   the 

supporting tree your suckers tear�察�So deep their love of earth�察�nor wound

for oft from careless swains A spark hath fallen�察�that�察�'neath the unctuous 

rind Hid thief´like first�察�now grips the tough tree´bole�察�And mounting to 

the leaves on high�察�sends forth A roar to heaven�察�then coursing through the 

boughs And airy summits reigns victoriously�察�Wraps all the grove in robes

of fire�察�and gross With pitch´black vapour heaves the murky reek Skyward�察�

but chiefly if a storm has swooped Down on the forest�察�and a driving wind 

Rolls up the conflagration。 When 'tis so�察�Their root´force fails them�察�nor�察�

when lopped away�察�Can they recover�察�and from the earth beneath Spring to 

like verdure�察�thus alone survives The bare wild olive with its bitter leaves。 

Let   none   persuade   thee�察  �howso   weighty´wise�察�To   stir   the   soil   when   stiff 

with Boreas' breath。 Then ice´bound winter locks the fields�察�nor lets The 

young plant fix its frozen root to earth。 Best sow your vineyards when in 

blushing Spring Comes the white bird long´bodied snakes abhor�察�Or on the 

eve   of   autumn's   earliest   frost�察  �Ere   the   swift   sun´steeds   touch   the   wintry 

Signs�察�While summer is departing。 Spring it is Blesses the fruit´plantation�察�

Spring   the   groves�察  �In   Spring   earth   swells   and   claims   the   fruitful   seed。 

Then Aether�察�sire omnipotent�察�leaps down With quickening showers to his 

glad wife's embrace�察�And�察�might with might commingling�察�rears to life All 

germs      that  teem    within    her�察  �then   resound    With    songs    of   birds   the 

greenwood´wildernesses�察  �And   in   due   time   the   herds   their   loves   renew�察�

Then the boon earth yields increase�察�and the fields Unlock their bosoms to 

the warm west winds�察�Soft moisture spreads o'er all things�察�and the blades 

Face the new suns�察�and safely trust them now�察�The vine´shoot�察�fearless of 

the rising south�察�Or mighty north winds driving rain from heaven�察�Bursts 

into bud�察�and every leaf unfolds。 Even so�察�methinks�察�when Earth to being 

sprang�察    �Dawned      the  first  days�察  �and   such   the  course    they   held�察  �'Twas 

Spring´tide then�察�ay�察�Spring�察�the mighty world Was keeping�此�Eurus spared 

his wintry blasts�察�When first the flocks drank sunlight�察�and a race Of men 

like iron from the hard glebe arose�察�And wild beasts thronged the woods�察�

and stars the heaven。 Nor could frail creatures bear this heavy strain�察�Did 

not    so  large   a   respite   interpose    'Twixt   frost   and   heat�察  �and   heaven's 

relenting     arms   Yield   earth   a  welcome。                                        For

Rough shells or porous stone�察�for therebetween Will water trickle and fine

dog´star     chaps    the  fields   with   drought。      The    slips   once   planted�察   �yet 

remains   to   cleave   The   earth   about   their   roots   persistently�察�And   toss   the 

cumbrous hoes�察�or task the soil With burrowing plough´share�察�and ply up 

and down Your labouring bullocks through the vineyard's midst�察�Then too 

smooth   reeds   and   shafts   of   whittled   wand�察�And   ashen   poles   and   sturdy 

forks to shape�察�Whereby supported they may learn to mount�察�Laugh at the 

gales�察    �and    through      the   elm´tops      win    From      story    up    to   story。 

Now   while   yet The   leaves   are   in their   first   fresh   infant growth�察  �Forbear 

their frailty�察�and while yet the bough Shoots joyfully toward heaven�察�with 

loosened rein Launched on the void�察�assail it not as yet With keen´edged 

sickle�察�but let the leaves alone Be culled with clip of fingers here and there。 

But   when   they   clasp   the   elms   with   sturdy   trunks   Erect�察  �then   strip   the 

leaves off�察�prune the boughs�察�Sooner they shrink from steel�察�but then put 

forth The arm of power�察�and stem the branchy tide。                   Hedges too must be 

woven and all beasts Barred entrance�察�chiefly while the leaf is young And 

witless of disaster�察�for therewith�察�Beside harsh winters and o'erpowering 

sun�察�Wild   buffaloes   and   pestering   goats   for   ay  Besport   them�察  �sheep   and 

heifers glut their greed。 Nor cold by hoar´frost curdled�察�nor the prone Dead 

weight of summer upon the parched crags�察�So scathe it�察�as the flocks with 

venom´bite   Of   their   hard   tooth�察  �whose   gnawing   scars   the   stem。   For   no 

offence but this to Bacchus bleeds The goat at every altar�察�and old plays 

Upon the stage find entrance�察�therefore too The sons of Theseus through 

the country´side´ Hamlet and crossway´ set the prize of wit�察�And on the 

smooth sward over oiled skins Dance in their tipsy frolic。 Furthermore The 

Ausonian       swains�察   �a  race  from    Troy    derived�察  �Make     merry    with   rough 

rhymes      and   boisterous     mirth�察  �Grim    masks     of  hollowed     bark    assume�察�

invoke Thee with glad hymns�察�O Bacchus�察�and to thee Hang puppet´faces 

on tall pines to swing。 Hence every vineyard teems with mellowing fruit�察�

Till   hollow   vale   o'erflows�察  �and   gorge   profound�察  �Where'er   the   god   hath 

turned   his   comely   head。   Therefore   to   Bacchus   duly   will   we   sing   Meet 

honour   with   ancestral   hymns�察  �and   cates   And   dishes   bear   him�察  �and   the 

doomed goat Led by the horn shall at the altar stand�察�Whose entrails rich 

on   hazel´spits   we'll   roast。      This   further   task   again�察  �to   dress   the   vine�察�

Hath needs beyond exhausting�察�the whole soil Thrice�察�four times�察�yearly

whole plantation lightened of its leaves。 Round on the labourer spins the 

wheel of toil�察�As on its own track rolls the circling year。 Soon as the vine 

her lingering leaves hath shed�察�And the chill north wind from the forests 

shook Their coronal�察�even then the careful swain Looks keenly forward to 

the coming year�察�With Saturn's curved fang pursues and prunes The vine 

forlorn�察�and lops it into shape。 Be first to dig the ground up�察�first to clear

praise Broad acres�察�farm but few。 Rough twigs beside Of butcher's broom

undressed willow claims thy fostering care。 So now the vines are fettered�察�

finished rows�察�but still the ground Must vexed be�察�the dust be stirred�察�and

olives�察  �small   husbandry   need   they�察  �Nor   look   for   sickle   bowed   or   biting 

rake�察�When once they have gripped the soil�察�and borne the breeze。 Earth of 

herself�察  �with   hooked   fang   laid   bare�察  �Yields   moisture   for   the   plants�察  �and 

heavy   fruit�察  �The   ploughshare   aiding�察  �therewithal   thou'lt   rear   The   olive's

less With fruit is swelling�察�and the wild haunts of birds Blush with their
