Their fill of love�察�and deeply entertain。            To care of sire the mother's care 

succeeds。 When great with young they wander nigh their time�察�Let no man 

suffer them to drag the yoke In heavy wains�察�nor leap across the way�察�Nor 

scour the   meads�察  �nor   swim  the   rushing   flood。   In   lonely  lawns   they  feed 

them�察�by the course Of brimming streams�察�where moss is�察�and the banks 

With grass are greenest�察�where are sheltering caves�察�And far outstretched 

the rock´flung shadow lies。 Round wooded Silarus and the ilex´bowers Of 

green Alburnus   swarms   a   winged   pest´   Its   Roman   name Asilus�察  �by   the 

Greeks   Termed   Oestros´   fierce   it   is�察  �and   harshly   hums�察  �Driving   whole 

herds     in  terror   through    the   groves�察   �Till  heaven     is  madded     by   their 

bellowing   din�察�And   Tanager's   dry   bed   and   forest´banks。   With   this   same 

scourge did Juno wreak of old The terrors of her wrath�察�a plague devised 

Against the heifer sprung from Inachus。 From this too thou�察�since in the 

noontide heats 'Tis most persistent�察�fend thy teeming herds�察�And feed them 

when the sun is newly risen�察�Or  the first stars are ushering in the  night。 

But�察  �yeaning   ended�察  �all   their   tender   care   Is   to   the   calves   transferred�察  �at 

once with marks They brand them�察�both to designate their race�察�And which 

to   rear   for   breeding�察  �or   devote As   altar´victims�察  �or   to   cleave   the   ground 

And into ridges tear and turn the sod。 The rest along the greensward graze 

at will。 Those that to rustic uses thou wouldst mould�察�As calves encourage 

and take steps to tame�察�While pliant wills and plastic youth allow。 And first 

of   slender   withies   round   the   throat   Loose   collars   hang�察  �then   when   their 

free´born necks Are used to service�察�with the self´same bands Yoke them 

in pairs�察�and steer by steer compel Keep pace together。 And time it is that 

oft Unfreighted wheels be drawn along the ground Behind them�察�as to dint 

the surface´dust�察�Then let the beechen axle strain and creak 'Neath some 

stout burden�察�whilst a brazen pole Drags on the wheels made fast thereto。 

Meanwhile For their unbroken youth not grass alone�察�Nor meagre willow´ 

leaves and marish´sedge�察�But corn´ears with thy hand pluck from the crops。 

Nor    shall   the   brood´kine�察    �as  of  yore�察  �for  thee   Brim    high   the   snowy 

milking´pail�察�but spend Their udders' fullness on their own sweet young。

But   if   fierce   squadrons   and   the   ranks   of   war   Delight   thee   rather�察  �or   on 

wheels   to   glide At   Pisa�察  �with Alpheus   fleeting   by�察�And   in   the   grove   of 

Jupiter urge   on The   flying   chariot�察  �be   your   steed's   first   task To   face   the 

warrior's armed rage�察�and brook The trumpet�察�and long roar of rumbling 

wheels�察�And clink of chiming bridles in the stall�察�Then more and more to 

love   his   master's   voice   Caressing�察  �or   loud   hand   that   claps   his   neck。 Ay�察�

thus far let him learn to dare�察�when first Weaned from his mother�察�and his 

mouth at times Yield to the supple halter�察�even while yet Weak�察�tottering´ 

limbed�察  �and   ignorant   of   life。   But�察  �three   years   ended�察  �when   the   fourth 

arrives�察  �Now   let   him   tarry   not   to   run   the   ring   With   rhythmic   hoof´beat 

echoing�察�and now learn Alternately to curve each bending leg�察�And be like 

one that struggleth�察  �then at last   Challenge the   winds to race him�察�and   at 

speed   Launched   through   the   open�察  �like   a   reinless   thing�察  �Scarce   print   his 

footsteps   on   the   surface´sand。   As   when   with   power   from   Hyperborean 

climes The north wind stoops�察�and scatters from his path Dry clouds and 

storms of Scythia�察�the tall corn And rippling plains 'gin shiver with light 

gusts�察�A sound is heard among the forest´tops�察�Long waves come racing 

shoreward�此  �fast   he   flies�察  �With   instant   pinion   sweeping   earth   and   main。 

A steed like this or on the mighty course Of Elis at the goal will sweat�察�and 

shower   Red   foam´flakes   from   his   mouth�察  �or�察  �kindlier   task�察  �With   patient 

neck   support   the   Belgian   car。   Then�察  �broken   at   last�察  �let   swell   their   burly 

frame With   fattening   corn´mash�察 �for�察  �unbroke�察  �they  will With   pride   wax 

wanton�察�and�察�when caught�察�refuse Tough lash to brook or jagged curb obey。 

But no device so fortifies their power As love's blind stings of passion to 

forefend�察�Whether on steed or steer thy choice be set。 Ay�察�therefore 'tis they 

banish bulls afar To solitary pastures�察�or behind Some mountain´barrier�察�or 

broad streams   beyond�察 �Or   else in plenteous   stalls   pen fast   at   home。  For�察�

even      through     sight    of    her�察  �the   female      wastes     His    strength     with 

smouldering fire�察�till he forget Both grass and woodland。 She indeed full 

oft   With   her   sweet   charms   can   lovers   proud   compel   To   battle   for   the 

conquest horn to horn。 In Sila's forest feeds the heifer fair�察�While each on 

each the furious rivals run�察�Wound follows wound�察�the black blood laves 

their  limbs�察  �Horns   push   and   strive   against   opposing   horns�察 �With   mighty 

groaning�察�all the forest´side And far Olympus bellow back the roar。  Nor

wont the champions in one stall to couch�察�But he that's worsted hies him to 

strange climes Far off�察�an exile�察�moaning much the shame�察�The blows of 

that   proud    conqueror�察    �then   love's   loss   Avenged      not�察 �with   one    glance

strength he practiseth�察�And nightlong makes the hard bare stones his bed�察�

onward rolled to land Falls with prodigious roar among the rocks�察�Huge as 

a very mountain�此�but the depths Upseethe in swirling eddies�察�and disgorge

the raging fire�此�love sways them all。 Never than then more fiercely o'er the 

plain Prowls heedless of her whelps the lioness�此�Nor monstrous bears such 

wide´spread havoc´doom Deal through the forests�察�then the boar is fierce�察�

Most   deadly   then   the   tigress�此  �then�察  �alack�   �Ill   roaming   is   it   on   Libya's 

lonely plains。 Mark you what shivering thrills the horse's frame�察�If but a

lash   severe�察  �Nor   rocks   and   caverned   crags�察  �nor barrier´floods�察�That   rend 

and whirl and wash the hills away。 Then speeds amain the great Sabellian 

boar�察�His tushes whets�察�with forefoot tears the ground�察�Rubs 'gainst a tree 

his flanks�察�and to and fro Hardens each wallowing shoulder to the wound。 

What of the youth�察�when love's relentless might Stirs the fierce fire within 

his veins�拭�Behold� �In blindest midnight how he swims the gulf Convulsed 

with   bursting   storm´clouds�   �Over   him   Heaven's   huge   gate   thunders�察  �the 

rock´shattered main Utters a warning cry�察�nor parents' tears Can backward 

call   him�察  �nor   the   maid   he   loves�察  �Too   soon   to   die   on   his   untimely   pyre。 

What   of   the   spotted   ounce   to   Bacchus   dear�察  �Or   warlike   wolf´kin   or   the 

breed     of   dogs�拭  �Why   tell   how    timorous   stags   the   battle   join�拭  �O'er   all 

conspicuous is the rage of mares�察�By Venus' self inspired of old�察�what time 

The Potnian four with rending jaws devoured The limbs of Glaucus。 Love´

climb the mountains�察�and the torrents swim�察�And when their eager marrow 

first   conceives   The   fire�察  �in   Spring´tide   chiefly�察  �for   with   Spring   Warmth

wool´clad flocks and shaggy goats to treat。 Here lies a labour�察�hence for
