 1    I|      ocean toss;~Shook from the leaves their honey, put fire away,~
 2    I|        the shade with wealth of leaves abound,~Vainly your threshing-floor
 3    I| must-juice down,~And skims with leaves the quivering cauldron’s
 4    I|         flit in air with fallen leaves,~Or feathers on the wave-top
 5    I|      bustling throngs~Among the leaves they riot; so sweet it is,~
 6   II|      the tree-mother’s towering leaves and boughs~Darken, despoil
 7   II|        boughs, the tree~Strange leaves admires and fruitage not
 8   II|         Seres comb from off the leaves~Their silky fleece? Of groves
 9   II|  tree-bole,~And mounting to the leaves on high, sends forth~A roar
10   II|      wild olive with its bitter leaves.~Let none persuade thee,
11   II|    story.~Now while yet    ~The leaves are in their first fresh
12   II|  keen-edged sickle, but let the leaves alone~Be culled with clip
13   II|    trunks~Erect, then strip the leaves off, prune the boughs;~Sooner
14   II|     plantation lightened of its leaves.~Round on the labourer spins
15   II|       as the vine her lingering leaves hath shed,~And the chill
16   II|    brooms~To cattle their green leaves, to shepherds shade,~Fences
17   II|        twigs enow, the elm-tree leaves,~Myrtle stout spear-shafts,
18  III|        seen~Upon the plain, nor leaves upon the tree:~But with
19  III|         fate,~And in mid labour leaves the plough-gear fast.~Nor
20  III|    replenished banquets: but on leaves~They fare, and virgin grasses,
21   IV|      smooth mud-coat, and strew leaves above;~But near their home
22   IV|       of labour, but alone~From leaves and honied herbs, the mothers,
23   IV|         but girt with plenteous leaves,~Where glory of purple shines
