Georgic

 1    I|           lust of sovereignty~Eer light upon thee, howso Greece
 2    I|          the naked fields,~And the light stubble burn with crackling
 3    I|        yoke is early hewn a linden light,~And a tall beech for handle,
 4    I|            awful labour brought to light~Coeus, Iapetus, and Typhoeus
 5    I|            nighttis best~To reap light stubble, and parched fields
 6    I|          flaw,~Dark-eddying, whirl light stalks and flying straws.~
 7    I| white-glistening in their wake,~Or light chaff flit in air with fallen
 8    I|           she flies, her wings~The light air winnow, lo! fierce,
 9    I|           Clutch as she flies, the light air winnowing still.~Soft
10    I|          too it was, when Caesar’s light was quenched,~For Rome had
11    I|            plough,~Some swain will light on javelins by foul rust~
12   II|        head    ~Into the realms of light spontaneously,~Fruitless
13   II|        first earing! Heavy land or light~The mute self-witness of
14   II|          and keen-furrowing steel;~Light alder floats upon the boiling
15  III|     pounding of the corn-ears, and light chaff~Is whirled on high
16  III|            plainsgin shiver with light gusts;~A sound is heard
17  III|         handle, that hath fled~The light in terror, or some snake,
18  III|         darkness launched into the light~Comes raging pale Tisiphone;
19   IV|           weigh-up tiny stones,~As light craft ballast in the tossing
20   IV|            they bear~Forms reft of light, and lead the mournful pomp;~
21   IV|          the deep Enipeus leaps to light,~Whence father Tiber, and
22   IV|   constrained,~Shot forth the grey light of his gleaming eyes~Upon
23   IV|            plagues thee thus, ~Nor light the debt thou payest; ’tis
24   IV|    semblances of forms~Lost to the light, as birds by myriads hie~
