Canto

  1     1|        grace~It found with man or heaven; bloom, beauty, gone.~The
  2     3|           my soul,~While the blue heaven shall turn about the pole.~ ~
  3     3|            Then, that the will of Heaven be duly brought~To a fair
  4     3|        shall appear returned from heaven,~To this low earth to varying
  5     3|      whose glad era, by indulgent heaven,~As to Augustus' is a Maro

  7     4|           learned,~Snatched up to heaven from his paternal reign,~
  8     5|          who offers no reward?~By Heaven, I should respect your claim
  9     6|         may never hail~From angry heaven your gentle boughs assail!~ ~
 10     8|        young withal?~No thanks to heaven for such a gift are due,~
 11     8|      virtue to allay~The wrath of Heaven, whose waters drenched the
 12     8|           saving succour was from Heaven.~ ~ LXXI~All night long
 13     8|           the deities,~Me, in mid heaven had placed, which, not to

 18    10|           ween,~Except perhaps in heaven above, are seen.~ ~ LIX~
 19    10|      touched his side:~He towards heaven, uprising, soared amain,~
 20    10|        rugged scale in vain.~"For heaven's sake turn and loose me" (

 28    14|      built;~Who hoped the rule of heaven from God to wrest,~And him
 29    15|        With imprecations dread he Heaven blasphemes.~ ~ VI~This while
 30    15|            XXVI~"For such desert, Heaven's bounty not alone~Designs
 31    16|         with loud clamours, which Heaven's concave fill,~Sent through

 33    17|        share.~But go, for love of Heaven, my son, lest thee~The monster
 34    17|           Signed that for love of Heaven he would not stay;~Since
 35    18|            Of drums and trumpets, heaven, 'twould seem, rebounded,~
 36    18|           bloody carnage stank to heaven;~And he, with better counsel,

 38    18|         loud peals of thunder,~As Heaven, to swallow all in fire,
 39    18|         at night,~Medoro gazed on heaven with sleepy eyes.~In all
 40    18|          sovereign beauty dost in heaven, and hell,~And earth, in
 41    18|           of light,~To sweep from heaven the stars, from earth the

155    45|      highly graced,~Who soared to heaven, and mid the stars was placed.~ ~

158    46|        come, sir, for the love of Heaven, and try~If any counsel
159    46|         rules that impious foe~Of Heaven, together with his evil
160    46|       they strewed, and stew with heaven's perfume,~Ambrosial odours
