Quin etiam causas unde sonora Flamina sollicitent aequora ponti, Quis volvat stabilem spiritus orbem Vel cur hesperias sidus in undas Casurum rutilo surgat ab ortu, Quid veris placidas temperet horas, Ut terram roseis floribus ornet, Quis dedit ut pleno fertilis anno Autumnus gravidis influat uvis Rimari solitus atque latentis Naturae varias reddere causas,
Causes, moreover, he sought and knew: Why the winds howl and stir up the waves of the sea, What breath turns the fixed stars sphere, Why the sun rises in the red east And sinks beneath the Western waves, What warms the springs calm hours So that the earth is lovely with flowers of roses, And who makes fruitful autumn heavy, as the year fills, With the full grapes. He sought and told All Natures secret causes.
