So let us seek the lands that the Gods love,The soil unsown, the isles of sumptuous store;Where fallow fields yield yearly fee of grain,And vines unpruned produce perennial bloom,And olive slips engender faithfully,And dark figs deck their trees; the cavernous oaksBleed honey’d drops, and from high hills descendThe nimble waters with melodious feet.
