 1    I| shepherd-god, forsaking, as the love~Of thine own Maenalus constrains
 2   II|     suckers tear;~So deep their love of earth; nor wound the
 3   II|         vales my solace, let me love~Rivers and woods, inglorious.
 4  III|    grown old~Slow kindling unto love in vain prolongs~The fruitless
 5  III|    reduce~To leanness, and when love’s sweet longing first~Provokes
 6  III|    eagerly absorb~Their fill of love, and deeply entertain.~To
 7  III|    stall;~Then more and more to love his master’s voice~Caressing,
 8  III|       fortifies their power ~As love’s blind stings of passion
 9  III|      that proud conqueror, then love’s loss~Avenged not; with
10  III|        Rush to the raging fire: love sways them all.~Never than

12  III|        lone Parnassian steep; I love~To walk the heights, from
13  III|         briers,~And brakes that love the highland: of themselves~

17   IV|        nor yield their limbs to love,~Nor know the pangs of labour,
18   IV|    liberal lives: so deep their love of flowers,~So glorious
19   IV|    birthright? Where is now~Thy love to me-ward banished from
20   IV|       blades thirst, and cattle love the shade,~Myself will guide
21   IV|        her wrongs o’erflows.~No love, no new desire, constrained
