 1    I|       unsown increase, and from heaven~Shed on man’s sowing the
 2    I|      more~Than thy full meed of heaven: be what thou wilt-For neither
 3    I|       when stars~Are changed in heaven, there sow the golden grain~
 4    I|         break down~The gates of heaven; thrice, sooth to say, they
 5    I|        down falls the height of heaven,~And with a great rain floods
 6    I|         the months and Signs of heaven,~Whither retires him Saturn’
 7    I|      the stars thou’lt see~From heaven shoot headlong, and through
 8    I|       it, with face~Upturned to heaven, the heifer snuffs the gale~
 9    I|       with mighty whirr through heaven pursues;~Where Nisus heavenward
10    I|        visit. Not, I deem,~That heaven some native wit to these
11    I|   counsel, clear she ride thro’ heaven~With horns unblunted, then
12    I|         of arms through all the heaven was heard~By Germany; strange
13    I|        Long since the courts of heaven~Begrudge us thee, our Caesar,
14   II|    tilth of fields and stars of heaven;~Now will I sing thee, Bacchus,
15   II|        no long timebehold!~To heaven upshot with teeming boughs,
16   II|        had been; for no wind of heaven~Its foliage falls; the flower,
17   II|      juice like that~We pour to heaven from bowls of gold, what
18   II|         its summit soars toward heaven,~So deep strikes root into
19   II|     high, sends forth~A roar to heaven, then coursing through the
20   II|         winds driving rain from heaven,~Bursts into bud, and every
21   II|        the woods, and stars the heaven.~Nor could frail creatures
22   II|       Twixt frost and heat, and heaven’s relenting arms~Yield earth

24   II|        the dust be stirred, and heaven~Still set thee trembling
25   II|        found their strength,~To heaven climb swiftly, self-impelled,
26   II|     show the paths and stars of heaven,~The sun’s eclipses and
27  III|        through the groves,~Till heaven is madded by their bellowing
28  III| bursting storm-clouds! Over him~Heaven’s huge gate thunders; the
29  III|       Black Auster, that glooms heaven with rainy cold.~Hence from
30  III|       on the tender sward.~When heaven’s fourth hour draws on the

32  III|    jagged icicle. Meanwhile~All heaven no less is filled with falling
33  III|       not then beneath the open heaven~To snatch soft slumber,
34  III|         happier signs imploring heaven.~Aye, and when inward to

39   IV|      Not denselier hail through heaven, nor pelting so~Rains from
