 1    I|        uneared and thankless left.~Oft, too, ’twill boot to fire
 2    I|           man and beast in turning oft the soil,~Do greedy goose
 3    I|          plagues~Make sport of it: oft builds the tiny mouse~Her
 4    I|         stream the bleating flock.~Oft too with oil or apples plenty-cheap~
 5    I|          stalks and flying straws.~Oft too comes looming vast along
 6    I|           above the soaring cloud.~Oft, too, when wind is toward,
 7    I|          chant their dirge of old.~Oft, too, the ant from out her
 8    I|            o’er repeated, and full oft~On their high cradles, by
 9    I|          draws to his decline: for oft we see~Upon the sun’s own
10    I|      leasing? He it is who warneth oft~Of hidden broils at hand
11    I|        thunderbolts,~Nor blazed so oft the comet’s fire of bale.~
12   II|         from the sapless wood,~And oft the branches of one kind
13   II|      victims mightiest, which full oft have led,~Bathed in thy
14   II|      fruitful breast,~Such as full oft in hollow mountain-dell~
15   II|       tally to perfection. Even as oft~In mighty war, whenas the
16   II| intersperse~Of the wild olive: for oft from careless swains~A spark
17  III|            of foot, they seek;~How oft so-e’er yon rival may have
18  III|         them from the springs, and oft beside~With running shake,
19  III|      together. And time it is that oft~Unfreighted wheels be drawn
20  III|          woodland. She indeed full oft~With her sweet charms can
21  III|       breezes take their fill;~And oft unmated, marvellous to tell,~
22  III|         Hippomanes, fell stepdames oft have culled,~And mixed with
23  III|      scattered huts~They house in? Oft their cattle day and night~
24  III|            to ships;~Brass vessels oft asunder burst, and clothes~
25  III|       desperadoes in the rear.~And oft the shy wild asses thou
26  III|         hare, with hounds the doe;~Oft from his woodland wallowing-den
27  III|            galbanum to drive away.~Oft under long-neglected cribs,
28  III|           Seest one far afield    ~Oft to the shade’s mild covert
29  III|     corruption to itself absorbed.~Oft in mid sacrifice to heaven—
30   IV|            pitch from Ida’s pines.~Oft too in burrowed holes, if
31   IV|           have hied them forth-For oft ‘twixt king and king with
32   IV|        essay~Brief out-goings, and oft weigh-up tiny stones,~As
33   IV|            and waxen realm repair.~Oft, too, while wandering, against
34   IV|        surround,~In crowds attend, oft shoulder him on high,~Or
35   IV|            the empty wax away? for oft~Into their comb the newt
36   IV|         chaplets woven hereof full oft are decked~Heaven’s altars:
37   IV|            of slaughtered bullocks oft has borne~Bees from corruption.
