Sample Sentences

Quod superest, quaecumque premes virgulta per agros,
Sparge fimo pingui et multa memor occule terra,
Aut lapidem bibulum aut squalentis infode conchas;
Inter enim labentur aquae tenuisque subibit
Halitus atque animos tollent sata; iamque reperti,
Qui saxo super atque ingentis pondere testae
Urgerent; hoc effusos munimen ad imbris, (Translation by James B. Greenough

For the rest, whate'er

The sets thou plantest in thy fields, thereon

Strew refuse rich, and with abundant earth

Take heed to hide them, and dig in withal

Rough shells or porous stone, for therebetween

Will water trickle and fine vapour creep,

And so the plants their drooping spirits raise.

Aye, and there have been, who with weight of stone

Or heavy potsherd press them from above;

This serves for shield in pelting showers, and this

When the hot dog-star chaps the fields with drought.) [c. 37 BCE – 30 BCE, Vergilius, Georgicon 2.346–353]
