For who 3832 I| savage war, nor had the wooden horse~ Involved in flames 3833 V| groves and forest deeps~ And woodsy meadows, through the untrod 3834 II| religion.~ ~ So, too, the wooly flocks, and horned kine,~ 3835 II| begetting bodies~ Of the world-stuff beget the varied world,~ 3836 IV| whene'er we watch~ The wormword being mixed, its bitter 3837 II| the rains,~ Give birth to wormy grubs, because the bodies~ 3838 II| strength~ And falls away into a worser part.~ For ever the ampler 3839 VI| esteem the old Divine,~ The worship of the gods: the woe at 3840 IV| Who seldom mark their own worst bane of all.~ The black-skinned 3841 III| all -~ Golden, and ever worthiest endless life.~ For soon 3842 III| better man than thou, O worthless hind;~ And many other kings 3843 II| can be conjoined; for then wouldest view~ Portents begot about 3844 VI| limbs,~ Rough with squalor, wrapped around with rags,~ Perish 3845 I| Helicon brought down~ A laurel wreath of bright perennial leaves,~ 3846 III| With faces shaded by fresh wreaths awry:~ "Brief is this fruit 3847 IV| primal faith in sense, and wreck~ All those foundations upon 3848 VI| Till be but wrack and wreckage of a world.~ EXTRAORDINARY 3849 I| bulk,~ Among its mingled wrecks and those of heaven,~ With 3850 VI| all~ To overtopple, and to wrench apart~ Timbers and beams, 3851 VI| direction; and the beams,~ Wrenched forward, over-hang, ready 3852 II| the lands,~ Whence is it wrested from the fates, - this will~ 3853 III| hostile hour hath ta'en~ Wretchedly from thee all life's many 3854 VI| from their dusky lairs~ The wriggling generations of wild snakes.~ 3855 III| Though not yet thy body~ Wrinkles with years, nor yet the 3856 III| thy whines, buffoon!~ Thou wrinklest - after thou hast had the 3857 V| tree,~ Beaten by winds, writhes swaying to and fro,~ Pressing ' 3858 V| wretches; and, from home y-driven,~ They'd flee their rocky 3859 II| rowers' banks, the ribs, the yards, the prow,~ The masts and 3860 V| shuttles,~ And sounding yarn-beams. And Nature forced the men,~ 3861 V| reaches of the sky:~ One yawning part thereof the mountain-chains~ 3862 III| house afire. - At once~ He yawns, as soon as foot has touched 3863 II| altars slain,~ Drops down the yearling calf, from out its breast~ 3864 II| the stall, pierced by her yearning still.~ Nor tender willows, 3865 IV| what~ The mad desire so yearns, and body seeks~ That object, 3866 V| and snap,~ They fawn with yelps of voice far other then~ 3867 V| high trees~ The boughs of yester-year. What sun and rains~ To 3868 III| gaze~ Backwards across all yesterdays of time~ The immeasurable, 3869 I| which our pauper-speech~ Yieldeth no name in the Italian tongue,~ 3870 III| under one name I'd have thee yoke them both;~ And when, for 3871 V| abreast came earlier~ Than yokes of four, or scythed chariots~ 3872 II| For sight somewhere of youngling gone from her;~ And, stopping 3873 | your 3874 V| on before,~ And hard on Zephyr's foot-prints Mother Flora,~ 3875 IV| Thus on and on along the zephyrs bees~ Are led by odour of 3876 II| out-drown~ That infant cry of Zeus, what time their band,~ 3877 II| clouds,~ The fires dash zig-zag - and that flaming power~
