Seite 5 - dicere formas -^ corpora. Di, coeptis (nam vos mutastis et illas) adspirate meis, primaque ab origine mundi ad mea perpetuum deducite témpora carmen. ANTE mare et terras et (quod tegit omnia) caelum, unus erat toto naturae vultus in orbe, quern dixere Chaos : rudis indigestaque moles, nee quicquam nisi pondus iners, congestaque eodem non bene
Seite 8 - ipsa quoque immunis rastroque intacta, nee ullis saucia vomeribus, per se dabat omnia tellus : contentique cibis nullo cogente creatis, arbuteos fétus montanaque fraga legebant, cornaque et in duris haerentia mora rubetis, 105 et quae deciderant patula Jovis arbore glandes. ver erat aeternum, placidique tepentibus auris mulcebant zephyri natos sine semine flores. mox etiam fruges tellus inarata ferebat,
Seite 77 - ut clivo crevisse putes. Sic rustica quondam fistula disparibus paulatim surgit avenís. turn lino medias et ceris adligat imas, atque ita compositas parvo curvamine flectit, ut veras imitetur aves. Puer Icarus una 195 stabat, et, ignarus sua se tractare pericia, ore renidenti modo quas vaga moverat aura, captabat plumas, flavam modo pollice ceram mollibat, lusuque suo
Seite 9 - malorum. 140 Jamque nocens ferrum, ferroque nocentius aurum prodierat ; prodit Bellum, quod pugnat utroque, sanguineaque manu crepitantia concutit arma, vivitur ex rapto : non hospes ab hospite tutus, non socer a genero ; fratrum quoque gratia rara est. imminet exilio vir conjugis, illa mariti ; lurida terribiles
Seite 38 - 60 sed vetuere patres. Quod non potuere vetare, ex aequo captis ardebant mentibus ambo : conscius omnis abest ; nutu signisque loquuntur. Quoque magis tegitur, tectus magis aestuat ignis, fissus erat tenui rima, quam duxerat olim 65 cum fieret, paries domui communie utrique. id vitium nulli per saecula longa notatum — quid non sentit amor? — primi
Seite 36 - cedendo arcebat, nee longius ire sinebat : donee Agenorides conjectum in gutture ferrum 90 usque sequens pressit, dum retro quercus eunti obstitit, et fixa est pariter cum robore cervix. pondere serpentis cúrvala est arbor, et imae parte flagellari gemuit sua robora caudae.

Seite 8 - legebantur, née supplex turba timebat judiéis ora sui, sed erant sine judice tuti. nondum caesa suis, peregrinum ut viseret orbem, montibus in liquidas pinus descenderat undas, 95 nullaque mortales praeter sua litora norant. nondum praecipites eingebaut oppida fossae : non tuba directi, non aeris cornua flexi, non galeae, non ensis erant; sine militis usu
