 1    I|     crumbling clod, even then ’tis time;~Press deep your plough
 2    I|         soaking sand,~Chiefly what time in treacherous moons a stream~
 3    I|            full tale, long ere the time~Thou must with heed lay
 4    I|         and penury.~Mark too, what time the walnut in the woods ~
 5    I|            With barley: then, too, time it is to hide~Your flax
 6    I|         Ceresjoy,~Aye, more than time to bend above the plough,~
 7    I|          annual care returns,~What time the white bull with his
 8    I|          to sow;~Winter’s the lazy time for husbandmen.~In the cold
 9    I|        flowers.~Nathless then also time it is to strip~Acorns from
10    I|          stalk is swelling? Many a time,~When now the farmer to
11    I|         for night eternal; at that time~Howbeit earth also, and
12    I|           stalls together. At that time~In gloomy entrails ceased
13    I|           bale.~Therefore a second time Philippi saw~The Roman hosts
14    I|        with our blood.~Ay, and the time will come when there anigh,~
15   II|           set herein, and— no long timebehold!~To heaven upshot
16   II|           from bowls of gold, what time~The sleek Etruscan at the
17   II| greenwood-wildernesses,~And in due time the herds their loves renew;~
18   II|         have travelled oer; ~’Tis time our steaming horses to unyoke.~
19  III|            points regarded, as the time draws nigh, ~With instant
20  III|         tire them in the sun,~What time the threshing-floor groans
21  III|       young they wander nigh their time,~Let no man suffer them
22  III|            Keep pace together. And time it is that oft~Unfreighted
23  III|         self inspired of old, what time~The Potnian four with rending
24   IV|          Etna: they alternately in time~With giant strength uplift
25   IV|         gathered in,~Twofold their time of harvest year by year,~
26   IV|       would fain~Temper the coming time, and their bruised hearts~
27   IV|          breed the race anew,~’Tis time the wondrous secret to disclose~
28   IV|            And have been, or which time hath yet to bring;~So willed
29   IV|          beheld she, nor no second time~Hell’s boatman brooks he
30   IV|          Then too, even then, what time the Hebrus stream,~Oeagrian
