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

The sun too�察�both at rising�察�and when soon He dives beneath the waves�察�

shall   yield   thee  signs�察  �For  signs�察  �none  trustier�察 �travel   with   the sun�察  �Both 

those  which   in   their   course   with   dawn he   brings�察�And   those   at   star´rise。 

When his springing orb With spots he pranketh�察�muffled in a cloud�察�And 

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 

in   mind�察   �When      now�察  �his   course    upon   Olympus       run�察  �He   draws     to  his 

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

tells of rain�察�of east winds fiery´red�察�If spots with ruddy fire begin to mix�察�

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´ 

plains�察�And dogs obscene�察�and birds of evil bode Gave tokens。 Yea�察�how 

often   have   we   seen   Etna�察  �her   furnace´walls   asunder   riven�察  �In          billowy 

floods   boil   o'er   the   Cyclops'   fields�察  �And   roll   down   globes   of   fire   and

molten     rocks�   �A   clash   of  arms    through    all  the  heaven    was   heard    By 

Germany�察�strange heavings shook the Alps。 Yea�察�and by many through the 

breathless     groves    A   voice   was   heard    with   power�察   �and   wondrous´pale 

Phantoms were seen upon the dusk of night�察�And cattle spake�察�portentous� �

streams stand still�察�And the earth yawns asunder�察�ivory weeps For sorrow 

in the shrines�察�and bronzes sweat。 Up´twirling forests with his eddying tide�察�

Madly he bears them down�察�that lord of floods�察�Eridanus�察�till through all 

the plain are swept Beasts and their stalls together。 At that time In gloomy 

entrails   ceased   not   to   appear   Dark´threatening   fibres�察  �springs   to   trickle 

blood�察    �And    high´built    cities  night´long     to  resound    With    the   wolves' 

howling。      Never     more    than    then   From     skies   all   cloudless    fell  the 

thunderbolts�察�Nor blazed so oft the comet's fire of bale。 Therefore a second 

time Philippi saw The Roman hosts with kindred weapons rush To battle�察�

nor   did   the   high   gods   deem   it   hard   That   twice   Emathia   and   the   wide 

champaign   Of   Haemus   should   be   fattening   with   our   blood。 Ay�察  �and   the 

time   will   come   when   there   anigh�察  �Heaving   the   earth   up   with his   curved 

plough�察�Some swain will light on javelins by foul rust Corroded�察�or with 

ponderous harrow strike On empty helmets�察�while he gapes to see Bones 

as of giants from the trench untombed。 Gods of my country�察�heroes of the 

soil�察�And Romulus�察�and Mother Vesta�察�thou Who Tuscan Tiber and Rome's 

Palatine Preservest�察�this new champion at the least Our fallen generation to 

repair Forbid not。 To the full and long ago Our blood thy Trojan perjuries 

hath paid�察�Laomedon。 Long since the courts of heaven Begrudge us thee�察�

our   Caesar�察  �and   complain   That   thou   regard'st   the   triumphs   of   mankind�察�

Here where the wrong is right�察�the right is wrong�察�Where wars abound so 

many�察�and myriad´faced Is crime�察�where no meet honour hath the plough�察�

The   fields�察  �their   husbandmen   led   far   away�察  �Rot   in   neglect�察  �and   curved 

pruning´hooks Into the sword's stiff blade are fused and forged。 Euphrates 

here�察�here Germany new strife Is stirring�察�neighbouring cities are in arms�察�

The laws that bound them snapped�察�and godless war Rages through all the 

universe�察  �as   when The  four´horse   chariots   from  the   barriers   poured   Still 

quicken o'er the course�察�and�察�idly now Grasping the reins�察�the driver by his 

team Is onward borne�察�nor heeds the car his curb。

Bacchus�察 �and�察  �with   thee�察�The   forest's   young   plantations   and   the   fruit   Of

nature's law For generating trees is manifold�察�For some of their own force 

spontaneous spring�察�No hand of man compelling�察�and possess The plains 

and river´windings far and wide�察�As pliant osier and the bending broom�察�

Poplar�察�and willows in wan companies With green leaf glimmering gray�察�

Chestnuts�察  �and�察  �mightiest   of   the   branching   wood�察  �Jove's   Aesculus�察  �and 

oaks�察�oracular Deemed by the Greeks of old。 With some sprouts forth A

pigmy plant�察�Beneath its mother's mighty shade upshoots The bay´tree of

forest´trees      and    shrubs    and    sacred     groves    Springs     into    verdure。

Justly the chiefest portion of my fame�察�Maecenas�察�and on this wide ocean

Through       winding     bouts    and   tedious     preludings     Shall   I  detain    thee。

clear space amid open fields�此�Now the tree´mother's towering leaves and 

boughs Darken�察�despoil of increase as it grows�察�And blast it in the bearing。 

Lastly�察   �that   Which     from   shed    seed   ariseth�察  �upward     wins    But   slowly�察�

Forgetful of their former juice�察�the grape Bears sorry clusters�察�for the birds 

a prey。      Soothly on all must toil be spent�察�and all Trained to the trench 

and at great cost subdued。 But reared from truncheons olives answer best�察�

As vines from layers�察�and from the solid wood The Paphian myrtles�察�while 

from  suckers spring   Both hardy  hazels   and   huge   ash�察  �the tree That   rims
