 1    I|     fields to rest, and on the plain~A crust of sloth to harden;
 2    I|       hurtling forest. For the plain is parched~By flax-crop,
 3    I|     having ploughed the fallow plain~And heaved its furrowy ridges,
 4    I|        husbandmen;~To mark the plain or mete with boundary-line-Even
 5    I|     bulls, my masters; sow the plain~Even to the verge of tameless
 6    I|       beards of harvest on the plain~Bristle already, and the
 7    I|       vales, and rest upon the plain,~And from the roof-top the
 8    I| Eridanus, till through all the plain are swept~Beasts and their
 9   II|       Zephyr tossed~On Libya’s plain, or wot, when Eurus falls~
10   II|      stepping proudly oer the plain;~Hence thy white flocks,
11   II|        sweet exulting, and the plain~That teems with grasses
12   II|    flow with fertilizing mud-A plain which southward rising feeds
13   II|      distant fields,~Or such a plain as luckless Mantua lost~
14   II|        the skies;~But the rude plain beneath the ploughshare’
15   II|      years.~Whether on hill or plaintis best to plant~Your
16   II|      first inquire. If on some plain~You measure out rich acres,
17   II|      the column stands~In open plain, the ranks of battle set,~
18  III|     marble shrine~On thy green plain fast by the water-side,~
19  III|       foe, or boast his native plain~Epirus, or Mycenae’s stubborn
20  III|    then more fiercely oer the plain~Prowls heedless of her whelps
21  III|        shelter is,~So flat the plain and boundless. All his goods~
22  III|     any grass is seen~Upon the plain, nor leaves upon the tree:~
23  III|    some other oer the teeming plain.~Even with such snowy bribe
24  III|         cast her down amid the plain,~At night retire belated
25  III|     than amber speeding to the plain:~But see! his flanks fail
26   IV|        wandering wide upon the plain~Dash off the dew, and bruise
27   IV|    quit their pasturing on the plain,~Then homeward make they,
