 1     I|    breast,~ Thou bringest the eternal generations forth,~ Kind
 2     I| strength~ O'ermastered by the eternal wound of love -~ And there,
 3     I| theirs,~ Since men must dread eternal pains in death.~ For what
 4     I|       long ago.~ SUBSTANCE IS ETERNAL~ ~ This terror, then, this
 5     I|      together held~ By matter eternal, shackled through its parts,~
 6     I|      frame,~ Hath power to be eternal, though all else,~ Though
 7     I|      void, they must be then~ Eternal; and, if matter ne'er had
 8     I|     if matter ne'er had been~ Eternal, long ere now had all things
 9     I|    same;~ But strong in their eternal singleness,~ Nature, reserving
10     I|      through,~ Gliding across eternal tracts of time,~ Nor, further,
11    II|    and we live~ As mortals by eternal give and take.~ The nations
12    II|        And battling on, as in eternal strife,~ And in battalions

14    II|  inheres at rest~ Deep in the eternal atoms of the world.~ ~ Why,
15   III|        In heavy drowse, on to eternal sleep;~ From whence nor
16   III|   mortal to conjoin~ With the eternal, and to feign they feel~
17   III|       again,~ Whatever abides eternal must indeed~ Either repel
18   III|       Even as the sum of sums eternal is,~ Without or place beyond
19   III|    day shall take~ For us the eternal sorrow from the breast."~
20   III|   That man should waste in an eternal grief,~ If, after all, the
21   III|  fore-passed eld~ Of time the eternal, ere we had a birth.~ And
22   III|   find,~ Forsooth, throughout eternal ages, aught~ To pry around

28     V|       Again,~ Whatever abides eternal must indeed~ Either repel
29     V|       Even as the sum of sums eternal is,~ Without or place beyond
30     V|       glittering stars of the eternal world;~ Or that another
