  Utters a warning cry�察�nor parents' tears

  Can backward call him�察�nor the maid he loves��

  Too soon to die on his untimely pyre。

  What of the spotted ounce to Bacchus dear��

  Or warlike wolf´kin or the breed of dogs��

  Why tell how timorous stags the battle join��

  O'er all conspicuous is the rage of mares��

  By Venus' self inspired of old�察�what time

  The Potnian four with rending jaws devoured

  The limbs of Glaucus。 Love´constrained they roam

  Past Gargarus�察�past the loud Ascanian flood��

  They climb the mountains�察�and the torrents swim��

  And when their eager marrow first conceives

  The fire�察�in Spring´tide chiefly�察�for with Spring

  Warmth doth their frames revisit�察�then they stand

  All facing westward on the rocky heights��

  And of the gentle breezes take their fill��

  And oft unmated�察�marvellous to tell��

  But of the wind impregnate�察�far and wide

  O'er craggy height and lowly vale they scud��

  Not toward thy rising�察�Eurus�察�or the sun's��

  But westward and north´west�察�or whence up´springs

  Black Auster�察�that glooms heaven with rainy cold。

  Hence from their groin slow drips a poisonous juice��

  By shepherds truly named hippomanes��

  Hippomanes�察�fell stepdames oft have culled��

  And mixed with herbs and spells of baneful bode。

    Fast flies meanwhile the irreparable hour��

  As point to point our charmed round we trace。

  Enough of herds。 This second task remains��

  The wool´clad flocks and shaggy goats to treat。

  Here lies a labour�察�hence for glory look��

  Brave husbandmen。 Nor doubtfully know

  How hard it is for words to triumph here��

  And shed their lustre on a theme so slight��

  But I am caught by ravishing desire

  Above the lone Parnassian steep�察�I love

  To walk the heights�察�from whence no earlier track

  Slopes gently downward to Castalia's spring。

    Now�察�awful Pales�察�strike a louder tone。

  First�察�for the sheep soft pencotes I decree

  To browse in�察�till green summer's swift return��

  And that the hard earth under them with straw

  And handfuls of the fern be littered deep��

  Lest chill of ice such tender cattle harm

  With scab and loathly foot´rot。 Passing thence

  I bid the goats with arbute´leaves be stored��

  And served with fresh spring´water�察�and their pens

  Turned southward from the blast�察�to face the suns

  Of winter�察�when Aquarius' icy beam

  Now sinks in showers upon the parting year。

  These too no lightlier our protection claim��

  Nor prove of poorer service�察�howsoe'er

  Milesian fleeces dipped in Tyrian reds

  Repay the barterer�察�these with offspring teem

  More numerous�察�these yield plenteous store of milk��

  The more each dry´wrung udder froths the pail��

  More copious soon the teat´pressed torrents flow。

  Ay�察�and on Cinyps' bank the he´goats too

  Their beards and grizzled chins and bristling hair

  Let clip for camp´use�察�or as rugs to wrap

  Seafaring wretches。 But they browse the woods

  And summits of Lycaeus�察�and rough briers��

  And brakes that love the highland�此�of themselves

  Right heedfully the she´goats homeward troop

  Before their kids�察�and with plump udders clogged

  Scarce cross the threshold。 Wherefore rather ye��

  The less they crave man's vigilance�察�be fain

  From ice to fend them and from snowy winds��

  Bring food and feast them with their branchy fare��

  Nor lock your hay´loft all the winter long。

    But when glad summer at the west wind's call

  Sends either flock to pasture in the glades��

  Soon as the day´star shineth�察�hie we then

  To the cool meadows�察�while the dawn is young��

  The grass yet hoary�察�and to browsing herds

  The dew tastes sweetest on the tender sward。

  When heaven's fourth hour draws on the thickening drought��

  And shrill cicalas pierce the brake with song��

  Then at the well´springs bid them�察�or deep pools��

  From troughs of holm´oak quaff the running wave��

  But at day's hottest seek a shadowy vale��

  Where some vast ancient´timbered oak of Jove

  Spreads his huge branches�察�or where huddling black

  Ilex on ilex cowers in awful shade。

  Then once more give them water sparingly��

  And feed once more�察�till sunset�察�when cool eve

  Allays the air�察�and dewy moonbeams slake

  The forest glades�察�with halcyon's song the shore��

  And every thicket with the goldfinch rings。

    Of Libya's shepherds why the tale pursue��

  Why sing their pastures and the scattered huts

  They house in�拭�Oft their cattle day and night

  Graze the whole month together�察�and go forth

  Into far deserts where no shelter is��

  So flat the plain and boundless。 All his goods

  The Afric swain bears with him�察�house and home��

  Arms�察�Cretan quiver�察�and Amyclaean dog��

  As some keen Roman in his country's arms

  Plies the swift march beneath a cruel load��

  Soon with tents pitched and at his post he stands��

  Ere looked for by the foe。 Not thus the tribes

  Of Scythia by the far Maeotic wave��

  Where turbid Ister whirls his yellow sands��

  And Rhodope stretched out beneath the pole

  Comes trending backward。 There the herds they keep

  Close´pent in byres�察�nor any grass is seen

  Upon the plain�察�nor leaves upon the tree��

  But with snow´ridges and deep frost afar

  Heaped seven ells high the earth lies featureless��

  Still winter�拭�still the north wind's icy breath��

  Nay�察�never sun disparts the shadows pale��

  Or as he rides the steep of heaven�察�or dips

  In ocean's fiery bath his plunging car。

  Quick ice´crusts curdle on the running stream��

  And iron´hooped wheels the water's back now bears��

  To broad wains opened�察�as erewhile to ships��

  Brass vessels oft asunder burst�察�and clothes

  Stiffen upon the wearers�察�juicy wines

  They cleave with axes�察�to one frozen mass

  Whole pools are turned�察�and on their untrimmed beards

  Stiff clings the jagged icicle。 Meanwhile

  All heaven no less is filled with falling snow��

  The cattle perish�此�oxen's mighty frames

  Stand island´like amid the frost�察�and stags

  In huddling herds�察�by that strange weight benumbed��

  Scarce top the surface with their antler´points。

  These with no hounds they hunt�察�nor net with toils��

  Nor scare with terror of the crimson plume��

  But�察�as in vain they breast the opposing block��

  Butcher them�察�knife in hand�察�and so dispatch

  Loud´bellowing�察�and with glad shouts hale them home。

  Themselves in deep´dug caverns underground

  Dwell free and careless�察�to their hearths they heave

  Oak´logs and elm´trees whole�察�and fire them there��

  There play the night out�察�and in festive glee

  With barm and service sour the wine´cup mock。

  So 'neath the seven´starred Hyperborean wain

  The folk live tameless�察�buffeted with blasts

  Of Eurus from Rhipaean hills�察�and wrap

  Their bodies in the tawny fells of beasts。

    If wool delight thee�察�first�察�be far removed

  All prickly boskage�察�burrs and caltrops�察�shun

  Luxuriant pastures�察�at the outset choose

  White flocks with downy fleeces。 For the ram��

  How white soe'er himself�察�be but the tongue

  'Neath his moist palate black�察�reject him�察�lest

  He sully with dark spots his offspring's fleece��

  And seek some other o'er the teeming plain。

  Even with such snowy bribe of wool�察�if ear

  May trust the tale�察�Pan�察�God of Arcady��

  Snared and beguiled thee�察�Luna�察�calling thee

  To the deep woods�察�nor thou didst spurn his call。

    But who for milk hath longing�察�must himself

  Carry lucerne and lotus´leaves enow

  With salt herbs to the cote�察�whence more they love

  The streams�察�more stretch their udders�察�and give back

  A subtle taste of saltness in the milk。

  Many there be who from their mothers keep

  The new´born kids�察�and straightway bind their mouths

  With iron´tipped muzzles。 What they milk at dawn��

  Or in the daylight hours�察�at night they press��

  What darkling or at sunset�察�this ere morn

  They bear away in baskets´ for to town

  The shepherd hies him´ or with dash of salt

  Just sprinkle�察�and lay by for winter use。

    Nor be thy dogs last cared for�察�but alike

  Swift Spartan hounds and fierce Molossian feed

  On fattening whey。 Never�察�with these to watch��

  Dread nightly thief afold and ravening wolves��

  Or Spanish desperadoes in the rear。

  And oft the shy wild asses thou wilt chase��

  With hounds�察�too�察�hunt the hare�察�with hounds the doe��

  Oft from his woodland wallowing´den uprouse

  The boar�察�and scare him with their baying�察�and drive��

  And o'er the mountains urge into the toils

  Some antlered monster to their chiming cry。

    Learn also scented cedar´wood to burn

  Within the stalls�察�and snakes of noxious smell

  With fumes of galbanum to drive away。

  Oft under long´neglected cribs�察�or lurks

  A viper ill to handle�察�that hath fled

  The light in terror�察�or some snake�察�that wont

  'Neath shade and sheltering roof to creep�察�and shower

  Its bane among the cattle�察�hugs the ground��

  Fell scourge of kine。 Shepherd�察�seize stakes�察�seize stones��

  And as he rears defiance�察�and puffs out

  A hissing throat�察�down with him� �see how low

  That cowering crest is vailed in flight�察�the while��

  His midmost coils and final sweep of tail

  Relaxing�察�the last fold drags lingering spires。

  Then that vile worm that in Calabrian glades

  Uprears his breast�察�and wreathes a scaly back��

  His length of belly pied with mighty spots´

  While from their founts gush any streams�察�while yet

  With showers of Spring and rainy south´winds earth

  Is moistened�察�lo� �he haunts the pools�察�and here

  Housed in the banks�察�with fish and chattering frogs

  Crams the black void of his insatiate maw。

  Soon as the fens are parched�察�and earth with heat

  Is gaping�察�forth he darts into the dry��

  Rolls eyes of fire and rages through the fields��

  Furious from thirst and by the drought dismayed。

  Me list not then beneath the open heaven

  To snatch soft slumber�察�nor on forest´ridge
