 1     I|      his victory now exalts to heaven.~ I know how hard it is
 2     I|  oceans, lands, and heights of heaven~ By divers causes and in
 3     I|      But these men begin~ From heaven, and from its fires; and
 4     I|          To go their ways from heaven to earth, from earth~ Unto
 5     I|       the thundering vaults of heaven should burst~ And splinter
 6     I|    mingled wrecks and those of heaven,~ With slipping asunder
 7    II|  voices onward to the stars of heaven,~ And hither and thither
 8    II|      too, the sun from peak of heaven~ Sheds round to every quarter
 9    II|       the lands,~ And hold all heaven from the lands away.~ ABSENCE
10    II|     big, and that the house of heaven~ Might get more room and
11    II|    season's change and wearies heaven,~ Nor grasps that all of
12   III|     the aery coasts of arching heaven~ Shuddered and trembled,
13   III|        with sea,~ And sea with heaven. But if indeed do feel~
14    IV|       through all the space of heaven~ Upon one instant of the
15    IV|        and lands and flood the heaven, what then~ Of those which
16    IV|       the rays~ O'erspread the heaven? This also seems to be~
17    IV|      once,~ If stars be out in heaven, upgleam from earth,~ Serene
18    IV|     bodies bright~ The span of heaven. And likewise sun and moon~
19    IV| erspread on high~ The gulfs of heaven; that thus thou seemest
20    IV|  bodies plunged~ Wondrously in heaven under earth.~ Then too,
21     V|        out the splendid sun of heaven,~ Branding with mortal talk
22     V|   ethereal sun, doth flood the heaven o'er~ With constant flux
23     V|  mighty world,~ Nor ocean, nor heaven, nor even earth nor air.~
24     V|        if the mighty sphere of heaven~ Revolveth round, then needs
25     V|     course removed~ From upper heaven and nigh unto the lands,~
26     V|       out along~ The coasts of heaven and deploys the light,~
27     V|      then arrives that sign of heaven~ Where the year's node renders
28     V|      north wind and of south,~ Heaven keeps his two goals parted
29    VI|     come,~ Or to which half of heaven it turns, or how~ Through
30    VI|       shaken the blue deeps of heaven,~ Because the ethereal clouds,
31    VI|      Of pitch hurled down from heaven, and far away~ Bulging with
32    VI|  autumn is shaken the house of heaven,~ The house so studded with
33    VI|        indeed,~ The seasons of heaven are betwixt these twain,~
34    VI|        are roused turbulent in heaven,~ Since then both sides
35    VI|     come,~ Or to which half of heaven it turns, or how~ Through
36    VI| portends of ill~ From out high heaven. But if Jupiter~ And other
37    VI|      The "bellows" pushed from heaven. And when this shape~ Hath
38    VI|       upper space~ Of the high heaven have gathered suddenly,~
39    VI|       borne aloft,~ To curtain heaven with their murk, and make,~
40    VI|      on~ Feigning at will that heaven and earth shall be~ Inviolable,
41    VI|   Aetna's fires o'erflow,~ And heaven become a flame-burst. For
42    VI|      the visible regions under heaven.~ ~ Thus, too, those Birdless
43    VI|     noisome stink, as stink to heaven~ Rotting cadavers flung
