 1    I|   will,~Great Caesar, and to take the earth in charge,~That
 2    I| force to form the stock,~And take the plough’s curved shape,
 3    I|   set~The vine in earth, and take and tame the steer,~And
 4    I|      wings,~Nor filthy swine take thought to toss on high~
 5   II| olive-groves to Pallas dear.~Take for a sign the plenteous
 6   II|   vines plant hazel; neither take~The topmost shoots for cuttings,
 7   II|      and with abundant earth~Take heed to hide them, and dig
 8  III|      As calves encourage and take steps to tame,~While pliant
 9  III|    And of the gentle breezes take their fill;~And oft unmated,
10   IV| honey, gift of heaven, I now~Take up the tale. Upon this theme
11   IV|     the fleeting breeze they take,~Till, like a shower that
12   IV|      then the mother spake,~“Take beakers of Maconian wine,”
