  1     I|  troublous to the state~ Neither may I attend this task of mine~
  2     I|        words and what of song~ I may at last most gloriously
  3     I|        death.~ For what the soul may be they do not know,~ Whether '
  4     I|       and pregnant earth~ Safely may give unto the shores of
  5     I|        stuff, and what from that may spring~ Is fixed forevermore?
  6     I|        until~ Some outward force may shatter by a blow,~ Or inward
  7     I|         matter all,~ Whence then may Venus back to light of life~
  8     I|         how, when thus restored, may daedal Earth~ Foster and
  9     I|        offers unto each?~ Whence may the water-springs, beneath
 10     I|        our eyes we mark how much may move,~ Which, finding not
 11     I|      away:~ For all past actions may be said to be~ But accidents,
 12     I|        to show~ The ways whereby may be created these~ Great
 13     I|  Transfer the argument, and thou may'st use~ The selfsame words:
 14     I|          somewhat somewhere that may bound the same -~ So that
 15     I|     whether there be~ Aught that may block and check it so it
 16     I|          on they run,~ That they may bate their journeying one
 17     I|         is nothing which outside may bound.~ That, too, the sum
 18     I|         the sum of things itself may not~ Have power to fix a
 19     I|      part,~ Till others arriving may fulfil the sum;~ But meanwhile
 20     I|         force of weight; nor yet may void~ Furnish support to
 21    II|        by the wise,~ Whence thou may'st look below on other men~
 22    II|     remote,~ That kind abounding may make up the count;~ Even
 23    II|        At any hour, however much may smile~ The crafty enticements
 24    II|         unlike.~ Thus fairly one may say that humankind,~ The
 25    II|        seek, as far as find thou may and can,~ The inodorous
 26    II|      scent to nostrils), that it may~ The least debauch and ruin
 27    II|          ground-works, whereupon may rest~ The sum of weal and
 28    II|  insensate, as I say.~ Sooth, we may see from out the stinking
 29    II|          all the pores. For what may we surmise~ A blow inflicted
 30    II|         that every living thing~ May have sensation, needful '
 31    II|   nonsense this,~ And that a man may laugh, though not, forsooth,~
 32    II|        give them o'er.~ And thus may'st know it matters with
 33   III|         out of very love~ That I may copy thee! - for how should
 34   III|         calm~ Which neither wind may shake nor rain-cloud splash,~
 35   III|       congealed by sharp frosts, may harm~ With its white downfall:
 36   III|       them their all, nor aught~ May ever pluck their peace of
 37   III|         science, then~ Thou well may'st note from what's to follow
 38   III|         the same as when~ A foot may pain without a pain in head.~
 39   III|      round, most tiny, that they may be moved,~ When hit by impulse
 40   III|          each mind's nature. Nor may we suppose~ Evil can e'er
 41   III|          In order of our members may appear?~ To that degree
 42   III|       ourselves~ How under-souls may roam in Acheron.~ Thus painters
 43   III|     sturdy strength of steed? We may be sure~ They'll take their
 44   III|       venerable length of days,~ May topple down upon it? But
 45   III|       arranged~ Where everything may grow and have its place.~
 46   III|      place beyond whereto things may~ Asunder fly, or bodies
 47   III|          being. Well, this sleep may be forever,~ Without desire
 48   III|          and thereafter, no,~ It may not be recalled." - As if,
 49   III|      life,~ Of labour? For all I may devise or find~ To pleasure
 50   III|          Such fall of fortune as may chance to him.~ Nor eat
 51   III|      there's no new delight that may be forged~ By living on.
 52   III|        fortune~ The future times may carry, or what be~ That
 53   III|          or what be~ That chance may bring, or what the issue
 54   III|         many generations as thou may:~ Eternal death shall there
 55    IV|   slumber - that haply nevermore may we~ Suppose that souls get
 56    IV|          Which are like films or may be named a rind,~ Because
 57    IV|      things -~ That this, too, I may yet confirm in proof:~ First,
 58    IV|    objects, since discharge they may;~ And when this outside
 59    IV|      clouds. And first,~ One oft may see that objects which are
 60    IV|          far from us~ Each thing may be away, the image yields~
 61    IV|       How far from us each thing may be away,~ And the more air
 62    IV|         that upon one instant we may see~ What kind the object
 63    IV|            The things themselves may be perceived. For thus~
 64    IV|          looking-glass~ An image may be seen, perceive. For seen~
 65    IV|          the right. An image too may be~ From mirror into mirror
 66    IV|       removed in twisting ways,~ May still be all brought forth
 67    IV|         thews and powers of men~ May be withdrawn by steady talk,
 68    IV|         determine what the words may mean;~ To such degree confounded
 69    IV|          from the crier's mouth, may rouse all ears~ Among the
 70    IV|     objects manifest) sounds yet may pass~ And assail the ears.
 71    IV| streaming flow of varied odours~ May roll along, and we're constrained
 72    IV|         born in body so that we~ May use the same, but birth
 73    IV|      this strange state and new~ May be occasioned, and by what
 74    IV|        on their feet; and (as ye may be sure)~ Big emeralds of
 75    IV|        tis in truth,~ That seeds may mingle readily with seeds~
 76     V| Something before unheard of, but may not~ Subject it to the view
 77     V|     pieces - which afar from us~ May she, the steersman Nature,
 78     V|     steersman Nature, guide: and may~ Reason, O rather than the
 79     V|        the gods,~ That well they may be thought to furnish rather~
 80     V|       arranged~ Where everything may grow and have its place.~
 81     V|         tangible to us. For what may not~ Itself be touched in
 82     V|      place beyond whereto things may~  Asunder fly, or bodies
 83     V|       war,~ Seest not that there may be for them an end~ Of the
 84     V|       fashion as certain members may~ In us remain at rest, whilst
 85     V|    glides.~ ~ And that the earth may there abide at rest~ In
 86     V|       powers~ Of any given thing may be. The earth~ Was, then,
 87     V|      seest thou not how powerful may be~ A subtle nature, when
 88     V|     wheels and water-scoops.~ It may be also that the heavens
 89     V|        look and clear-cut form,~ May there on high by us on earth
 90     V|       The world at large. For it may be, indeed,~ That one vast-flowing
 91     V|         one single fountain-head may stream~ This heat and light.
 92     V|    widely one small water-spring may wet~ The meadow-lands at
 93     V|       that fire~ Be not a great, may permeate the air~ With the
 94     V|         world,~ Of which the one may thrust the sun away~ From
 95     V|        cold, and the other then~ May cast him back from icy shades
 96     V|          round in mighty orbits, may be sped~ By streams of air
 97     V|       from the upper?~ Then, why may yonder stars in ether there~
 98     V|   sequence also.~ Likewise, days may wax~ Whilst the nights wane,
 99     V|          of sun, and day by day~ May turn unto our gaze her light,
100     V|      reason to suppose that moon may roll~ With light her very
101     V|       her,~ Which in three modes may block and blot her disk.~
102     V|       blot her disk.~ Again, she may revolve upon herself,~ Like
103     V|   revolution of that sphere~ She may beget for us her varying
104     V|       impregnation in the frame~ May ooze, released from the
105     V| delightsome -~ Sooth, as one oft may see the bearded goats~ Batten
106     V|          empty argument on new)~ May babble with like reason
107     V|         of these causes, either~ May well have given to mortal
108     V|      tongue, what time~ The rest may be supposed powerless~ To
109     V|        disaster. This~ We, then, may hold as true in the great
110     V|        all how far true pleasure may increase.~ And 'tis desire
111    VI|          from us~ Veriest reason may drive such life away,~ Much
112    VI|         the utmost goal,~ That I may get with signal praise the
113    VI|         For what a blast of wind may do up there~ Is manifest
114    VI|     revolting crimes,~ That such may pant from a transpierced
115    VI|          yon quarter, so that we may shun?~ Why rouseth he beforehand
116    VI|          and that from thence he may~ Near-by decide upon the
117    VI|         a big bulk of piled sand may bar~ His mouths against
118    VI|       his descending floods.~ It may be, too, that in this season
119    VI|          much.~ For in what else may we suppose the clime~ Among
