 1    I|    labour: now the dikes fill fast,~And the void river-beds
 2  III|     shrine~On thy green plain fast by the water-side,~Where

 6  III|       in plenteous stalls pen fast at home.~For, even through
 7  III|       spells of baneful bode.~Fast flies meanwhile the irreparable
 8  III|   unwary herd.~Less thick and fast the whirlwind scours the

12   IV|  growth are curling, and stop fast,~Plunge madly as he may,
13   IV|      shepherd Aristaeus stood~Fast by the haunted river-head,
14   IV|    when thou hast gripped him fast with hand and gyve,~Then
15   IV|       water, and, to pen them fast,~Styx with her ninefold
