Georgic

1    I| Minerva, from whose hand the olive sprung;~And boy-discoverer
2   II|   the fruit~Of slow-maturing olive. Hither haste,~O Father
3   II|     Lopped of its limbs, the olive, a mere stock,~Still thrusts
4   II|   enwreathe;~That teems with olive; that shall thy tilth prove
5   II|      intersperse~Of the wild olive: for oft from careless swains~
6   II| alone survives~The bare wild olive with its bitter leaves.~
7   II| therewithal thou’lt rear~The olive’s fatness well-beloved of
8   II|    drugs Assyrian, nor clear olive’s use~With cassia tainted;
9  III|     head with stripped green olive crowned,~Will offer gifts.
