Georgic

 1    I|  hard tooth, scoops from a tree~His troughs, or on the cattle
 2   II|   hazels and huge ash, the tree~That rims with shade the
 3   II|  Wherein from some strange tree a germ they pen,~And to
 4   II|   with teeming boughs, the tree~Strange leaves admires and
 5   II|  from the limbs.~Large the tree’s self in semblance like
 6   II| the flocks;~Twice doth the tree yield service of her fruit.~
 7   II|    the ground is fixed~The tree that props it, aesculus
 8   II|  the top~Of the supporting tree your suckers tear;~So deep
 9  III|  himself, and butting at a tree~Learns to fling wrath into
10  III| the ground,~Rubs ‘gainst a tree his flanks, and to and fro~
11  III| plain, nor leaves upon the tree:~But with snow-ridges and
12   IV|  the cavern of an age-hewn tree.~Thou not the less smear
13   IV|  neath the spreading beech tree’s shade.~ ~
