  1     I|          Procreant atoms, matter, seeds of things,~ Or primal bodies,
  2     I|         since produced from fixed seeds are all,~ Each birth goes
  3     I|          If not because the fixed seeds of things~ At their own
  4     I|        the mingling of the living seeds~ Would space be needed for
  5     I|         Since all must have their seeds, wherefrom to grow,~ Wherefrom
  6     I|          everlasting frame -~ The seeds of things, the primal germs
  7     I|         Nature, reserving them as seeds for things,~ Permitteth
  8     I|        with things~ Thuswise; but seeds, common to many things,~
  9     I|           wood,~ But many are the seeds of heat, and when~ Rubbing
 10     I|    slipping asunder of the primal seeds,~ Should pass, along the
 11    II|   ceaseless tossing of primordial seeds~ Amid the mightier void -
 12    II|          for the same~ Primordial seeds of things first move of
 13    II|          How 'tis that, while the seeds of things are all~ Moving
 14    II|           n if ne'er I knew~ What seeds primordial are, yet would
 15    II|       fixed order, and primordial seeds~ Produce not by their swerving
 16    II|         no less within the primal seeds~ Thou must admit, besides
 17    II|     Wherefore again, again, since seeds of things~ Exist by nature,
 18    II|           Aphrodite;~ Or be't the seeds by some collision whirl~
 19    II|       shapes quite infinite, some seeds~ Would have a body of infinite
 20    II|           thou'lt undertake~ That seeds have infinite differences
 21    II|        holdest true~ That certain seeds are finite in their tale,~
 22    II|           That in their frame the seeds of many things~ They hide,
 23    II|        hide, and divers shapes of seeds contain.~ Further, thou
 24    II|         atoms. Further, since the seeds~ Are different, difference
 25    II|         to stain with colour~ The seeds of things, lest things return
 26    II|           to naught.~ But now, if seeds~ Receive no property of
 27    II|          matters much~ With, what seeds, and in what positions joined,~
 28    II|        and white. But if of azure seeds~ Consist the level waters
 29    II|       however~ Thou shakest azure seeds, the same can never~ Pass
 30    II|           marble hue. But, if the seeds -~ Which thus produce the
 31    II|          attribute colours to the seeds~ Falls quite to pieces,
 32    II|            Firstly, how small the seeds which thus compose~ The
 33    II|          yet derived out of other seeds~ Which in their turn are
 34    II|           for a fact,~ Of sapient seeds and eloquent, why, then,~
 35    II|   composed as well~ Of intermixed seeds quite void of sense?~ INFINITE
 36    II|           infinite and free,~ And seeds, innumerable in number,
 37    II|         Nature fashioned, even as seeds of things~ By innate motion
 38    II|         vain -~ And at last those seeds together dwelt,~ Which,
 39    II|    Perforce. And now, if store of seeds there is~ So great that
 40    II|          same,~ Able to throw the seeds of things together~ Into
 41    II|           as here are thrown~ The seeds together in this world of
 42    II|          from outside,~ Have many seeds been added round about,~
 43   III|         already of what sort~ The seeds of all things are, and how,
 44   III|       safety: rather those -~ The seeds of wind and exhalations
 45   III|           what's so agile must of seeds consist~ Most round, most
 46   III|         much,~ Consist it must of seeds exceeding small~ And smooth
 47   III|       entire must be of smallmost seeds,~ Twined through the veins,
 48   III|      weight -~ No marvel, because seeds many and minute~ Produce
 49   III|       thine to know created is of seeds~ The tiniest ever, since
 50   III|           rare,~ Athrough it many seeds of air must move.~ Thus
 51   III|        the whole dissolved.~ With seeds so intertwined even from
 52   III|       stirred in us~ Ere once the seeds of soul that through our
 53   III|          in the main, because the seeds of voice~ Are driven forth
 54   III|        funeral hour.~ Besides are seeds of soul there left behind~
 55   III|        the souls go on a hunt for seeds~ Of worms wherewith to build
 56   III|      parts compact - as are those seeds of stuff~ Whose nature we'
 57   III|        this too: often these very seeds~ (From which we are to-day)
 58    IV|         already of what sort~ The seeds of all things are, and how
 59    IV|           Because it holdeth many seeds of fire~ Which, working
 60    IV|           their bodies~ Flow many seeds wan-yellow forth to meet~
 61    IV|         we have said before, that seeds are kept~ Commixed in things
 62    IV|       kind, they thus consist~ Of seeds of varying shape. And furthermore,~
 63    IV|           And furthermore,~ Since seeds do differ, divers too must
 64    IV|          All the positions of the seeds are changed, -~ So that
 65    IV|     Because of differing forms of seeds and pores.~ Thus on and
 66    IV|      cocks there be~ Some certain seeds, which, into lions' eyes~
 67    IV|       they be -~ Whilst yet these seeds can't hurt our gaze the
 68    IV|        heat hath dashed~ Together seeds, aroused along their frames~
 69    IV|       moment 'tis in truth,~ That seeds may mingle readily with
 70    IV|           may mingle readily with seeds~ Suited for procreation,
 71    IV|      thick~ Should mix with fluid seeds, with thick the fluid.~
 72    IV|            For some foods thicken seeds within our members,~ And
 73    IV|       buttocks then upreared, the seeds can take~ Their proper places.
 74     V|        But knew I never what~ The seeds primordial were, yet would
 75     V|      parts compact - as are those seeds of stuff~ Whose nature we'
 76     V|              For these consist of seeds more smooth and round~ And
 77     V|          will congregate and many seeds~ Of heat are wont, even
 78     V|       aught for wonder that these seeds of fire~ Can thus together
 79     V|         next, a path whereby~ The seeds of impregnation in the frame~
 80     V|         though in earth were many seeds of things~ In the old time
 81    VI|        their collision, forth the seeds of fire:~ As if a stone
 82    VI|          from 'mid the clouds the seeds of fire,~ And heap them
 83    VI|     Themselves must hold abundant seeds of fire;~ For, when they
 84    VI|    themselves~ Take multitudinous seeds, and so perforce~ Redden
 85    VI|     clouds,~ They pour abroad the seeds of fire pressed out,~ Which
 86    VI|       asunder as they move, those seeds~ Which make the lightnings
 87    VI|         How cavernous clouds hold seeds innumerable~ Of fiery exhalations,
 88    VI|          the same~ The many fiery seeds, and with that fire~ Hath
 89    VI|       there~ Under the stroke its seeds of radiance hot.~ And therefore,
 90    VI|        all,~ All of the thunder's seeds of fire, to sweep~ In a
 91    VI|    scraping from out the air~ The seeds of cloud, and counterfeits,
 92    VI|      clouds themselves, full many seeds of water~ From out all things,
 93    VI|     clouds. And when therein~ The seeds of water so many in many
 94    VI|        abide for long,~ When many seeds of waters are aroused,~
 95    VI|          Of things innumerable be seeds enough,~ And this our earth
 96    VI| congregation, when, percase,~ The seeds of water have foregathered
 97    VI|       hasten death, O many primal seeds~ Of many things in many
 98    VI|           abroad in air~ Whatever seeds it peradventure have~ Of
 99    VI|          ground, and be~ Many the seeds of fire hard by the water;~
100    VI|         out~ Into the spring what seeds she holds of fire~ (As one
101    VI|        ancient abodes return~ The seeds of fire, and all the Hot
102    VI|            And, therefore, whatso seeds it holds of fire~ It renders
103    VI|          this:~ Because full many seeds of heat there be~ Within
104    VI|          Just so, then, can those seeds of fire burst forth~ Athrough
105    VI|          in themselves~ Have many seeds of latent fire. Indeed,~
106    VI|           from off the lode-stone seeds~ Innumerable, a very tide,
107    VI|           I've taught above~ That seeds there be of many things
