 1    I|      Claws~A space is opening; see! red Scorpio’s self~His
 2    I| boundless harvest-crops~Burst, see! the barns.~But ere our
 3    I|      trees~And grass unbidden. See how from Tmolus comes~The
 4    I|      the brow of its hill-bed,~See! see! he lures the runnel;
 5    I|     brow of its hill-bed,~See! see! he lures the runnel; down
 6    I|      toward, the stars thou’lt see~From heaven shoot headlong,
 7    I| jostling wings. Now mayst thou see~The various ocean-fowl and

 9    I|        his decline: for oft we see~Upon the sun’s own face

19  III|       Amythaon’s son Melampus. See!~From Stygian darkness launched
20   IV|     the cage-escaped hosts you see~Float heavenward through
21   IV|      forehead for the earth to see,~With foot of scorn spurning
