ergo age, terrae pingue solum primis extemplo a mensibus anni fortes invertant tauri, glaebasque iacentis pulverulenta coquat maturis solibus aestas; at si non fuerit tellus fecunda, sub ipsum Arcturum tenui sat erit suspendere sulco: illic, officiant laetis ne frugibus herbae, hic, sterilem exiguus ne deserat umor harenam.
Come then, and where the earths soil is rich, let your stout oxen upturn it straightway, in the years first months, and let the clods lie for dusty summer to bake with her ripening suns; but should the land not be fruitful, it will suffice, on the eve of Arcturus rising, to raise it lightly with shallow furrow'in the one case, that weeds may not choke the gladsome corn; in the other, that the scant moisture may not desert the barren sand.
