  Large the tree's self in semblance like a bay��

  And�察�showered it not a different scent abroad��

  A bay it had been�察�for no wind of heaven

  Its foliage falls�察�the flower�察�none faster�察�clings��

  With it the Medes for sweetness lave the lips��

  And ease the panting breathlessness of age。

    But no�察�not Mede´land with its wealth of woods��

  Nor Ganges fair�察�and Hermus thick with gold��

  Can match the praise of Italy�察�nor Ind��

  Nor Bactria�察�nor Panchaia�察�one wide tract

  Of incense´teeming sand。 Here never bulls

  With nostrils snorting fire upturned the sod

  Sown with the monstrous dragon's teeth�察�nor crop

  Of warriors bristled thick with lance and helm��

  But heavy harvests and the Massic juice

  Of Bacchus fill its borders�察�overspread

  With fruitful flocks and olives。 Hence arose

  The war´horse stepping proudly o'er the plain��

  Hence thy white flocks�察�Clitumnus�察�and the bull��

  Of victims mightiest�察�which full oft have led��

  Bathed in thy sacred stream�察�the triumph´pomp

  Of Romans to the temples of the gods。

  Here blooms perpetual spring�察�and summer here

  In months that are not summer's�察�twice teem the flocks��

  Twice doth the tree yield service of her fruit。

  But ravening tigers come not nigh�察�nor breed

  Of savage lion�察�nor aconite betrays

  Its hapless gatherers�察�nor with sweep so vast

  Doth the scaled serpent trail his endless coils

  Along the ground�察�or wreathe him into spires。

  Mark too her cities�察�so many and so proud��

  Of mighty toil the achievement�察�town on town

  Up rugged precipices heaved and reared��

  And rivers undergliding ancient walls。

  Or should I celebrate the sea that laves

  Her upper shores and lower�拭�or those broad lakes��

  Thee�察�Larius�察�greatest and�察�Benacus�察�thee

  With billowy uproar surging like the main��

  Or sing her harbours�察�and the barrier cast

  Athwart the Lucrine�察�and how ocean chafes

  With mighty bellowings�察�where the Julian wave

  Echoes the thunder of his rout�察�and through

  Avernian inlets pours the Tuscan tide��

  A land no less that in her veins displays

  Rivers of silver�察�mines of copper ore��

  Ay�察�and with gold hath flowed abundantly。

  A land that reared a valiant breed of men��

  The Marsi and Sabellian youth�察�and�察�schooled

  To hardship�察�the Ligurian�察�and with these

  The Volscian javelin´armed�察�the Decii too��

  The Marii and Camilli�察�names of might��

  The Scipios�察�stubborn warriors�察�ay�察�and thee��

  Great Caesar�察�who in Asia's utmost bounds

  With conquering arm e'en now art fending far

  The unwarlike Indian from the heights of Rome。

  Hail� �land of Saturn�察�mighty mother thou

  Of fruits and heroes�察�'tis for thee I dare

  Unseal the sacred fountains�察�and essay

  Themes of old art and glory�察�as I sing

  The song of Ascra through the towns of Rome。

    Now for the native gifts of various soils��

  What powers hath each�察�what hue�察�what natural bent

  For yielding increase。 First your stubborn lands

  And churlish hill´sides�察�where are thorny fields

  Of meagre marl and gravel�察�these delight

  In long´lived olive´groves to Pallas dear。

  Take for a sign the plenteous growth hard by

  Of oleaster�察�and the fields strewn wide

  With woodland berries。 But a soil that's rich��

  In moisture sweet exulting�察�and the plain

  That teems with grasses on its fruitful breast��

  Such as full oft in hollow mountain´dell

  We view beneath us´ from the craggy heights

  Streams thither flow with fertilizing mud´

  A plain which southward rising feeds the fern

  By curved ploughs detested�察�this one day

  Shall yield thee store of vines full strong to gush

  In torrents of the wine´god�察�this shall be

  Fruitful of grapes and flowing juice like that

  We pour to heaven from bowls of gold�察�what time

  The sleek Etruscan at the altar blows

  His ivory pipe�察�and on the curved dish

  We lay the reeking entrails。 If to rear

  Cattle delight thee rather�察�steers�察�or lambs��

  Or goats that kill the tender plants�察�then seek

  Full´fed Tarentum's glades and distant fields��

  Or such a plain as luckless Mantua lost

  Whose weedy water feeds the snow´white swan��

  There nor clear springs nor grass the flocks will fail��

  And all the day´long browsing of thy herds

  Shall the cool dews of one brief night repair。

  Land which the burrowing share shows dark and rich��

  With crumbling soil´ for this we counterfeit

  In ploughing´ for corn is goodliest�察�from no field

  More wains thou'lt see wend home with plodding steers��

  Or that from which the husbandman in spleen

  Has cleared the timber�察�and o'erthrown the copse

  That year on year lay idle�察�and from the roots

  Uptorn the immemorial haunt of birds��

  They banished from their nests have sought the skies��

  But the rude plain beneath the ploughshare's stroke

  Starts into sudden brightness。 For indeed

  The starved hill´country gravel scarce serves the bees

  With lowly cassias and with rosemary��

  Rough tufa and chalk too�察�by black water´worms

  Gnawed through and through�察�proclaim no soils beside

  So rife with serpent´dainties�察�or that yield

  Such winding lairs to lurk in。 That again��

  Which vapoury mist and flitting smoke exhales��

  Drinks moisture up and casts it forth at will��

  Which�察�ever in its own green grass arrayed��

  Mars not the metal with salt scurf of rust´

  That shall thine elms with merry vines enwreathe��

  That teems with olive�察�that shall thy tilth prove kind

  To cattle�察�and patient of the curved share。

  Such ploughs rich Capua�察�such the coast that skirts

  Thy ridge�察�Vesuvius�察�and the Clanian flood��

  Acerrae's desolation and her bane。

  How each to recognize now hear me tell。

  Dost ask if loose or passing firm it be´

  Since one for corn hath liking�察�one for wine��

  The firmer sort for Ceres�察�none too loose

  For thee�察�Lyaeus�拭� with scrutinizing eye

  First choose thy ground�察�and bid a pit be sunk

  Deep in the solid earth�察�then cast the mould

  All back again�察�and stamp the surface smooth。

  If it suffice not�察�loose will be the land��

  More meet for cattle and for kindly vines��

  But if�察�rebellious�察�to its proper bounds

  The soil returns not�察�but fills all the trench

  And overtops it�察�then the glebe is gross��

  Look for stiff ridges and reluctant clods��

  And with strong bullocks cleave the fallow crust。

  Salt ground again�察�and bitter�察�as 'tis called´

  Barren for fruits�察�by tilth untamable��

  Nor grape her kind�察�nor apples their good name

  Maintaining´ will in this wise yield thee proof��

  Stout osier´baskets from the rafter´smoke��

  And strainers of the winepress pluck thee down��

  Hereinto let that evil land�察�with fresh

  Spring´water mixed�察�be trampled to the full��

  The moisture�察�mark you�察�will ooze all away��

  In big drops issuing through the osier´withes��

  But plainly will its taste the secret tell��

  And with a harsh twang ruefully distort

  The mouths of them that try it。 Rich soil again

  We learn on this wise�此�tossed from hand to hand

  Yet cracks it never�察�but pitch´like�察�as we hold��

  Clings to the fingers。 A land with moisture rife

  Breeds lustier herbage�察�and is more than meet

  Prolific。 Ah I may never such for me

  O'er´fertile prove�察�or make too stout a show

  At the first earing� �Heavy land or light

  The mute self´witness of its weight betrays。

  A glance will serve to warn thee which is black��

  Or what the hue of any。 But hard it is

  To track the signs of that pernicious cold��

  Pines only�察�noxious yews�察�and ivies dark

  At times reveal its traces。

                        All these rules

  Regarding�察�let your land�察�ay�察�long before��

  Scorch to the quick�察�and into trenches carve

  The mighty mountains�察�and their upturned clods

  Bare to the north wind�察�ere thou plant therein

  The vine's prolific kindred。 Fields whose soil

  Is crumbling are the best�此�winds look to that��

  And bitter hoar´frosts�察�and the delver's toil

  Untiring�察�as he stirs the loosened glebe。

  But those�察�whose vigilance no care escapes��

  Search for a kindred site�察�where first to rear

  A nursery for the trees�察�and eke whereto

  Soon to translate them�察�lest the sudden shock

  From their new mother the young plants estrange。

  Nay�察�even the quarter of the sky they brand

  Upon the bark�察�that each may be restored��

  As erst it stood�察�here bore the southern heats��

  Here turned its shoulder to the northern pole��

  So strong is custom formed in early years。

  Whether on hill or plain 'tis best to plant

  Your vineyard first inquire。 If on some plain

  You measure out rich acres�察�then plant thick��

  Thick planting makes no niggard of the vine��

  But if on rising mound or sloping bill��

  Then let the rows have room�察�so none the less

  Each line you draw�察�when all the trees are set��

  May tally to perfection。 Even as oft

  In mighty war�察�whenas the legion's length

  Deploys its cohorts�察�and the column stands

  In open plain�察�the ranks of battle set��

  And far and near with rippling sheen of arms

  The wide earth flickers�察�nor yet in grisly strife

  Foe grapples foe�察�but dubious 'twixt the hosts

  The war´god wavers�察�so let all be ranged

  In equal rows symmetric�察�not alone

  To feed an idle fancy with the view��

  But since not otherwise will earth afford

  Vigour to all alike�察�nor yet the boughs

  Have power to stretch them into open space。

    Shouldst haply of the furrow's depth inquire��

  Even to a shallow trench I dare commit

  The vine�察�but deeper in the ground is fixed

  The tree that props it�察�aesculus in chief��

  Which howso far its summit soars toward heaven��

  So deep strikes root into the vaults of hell。

  It therefore neither storms�察�nor blasts�察�nor showers

  Wrench from its bed�察�unshaken it abides��

  Sees many a generation�察�many an age

  Of men roll onward�察�and survives them all��

  Stretching its titan arms and branches
