Them rest assists: the night’s protracted length
Recruits their vigour and supplies their strength.
This rule observe, while still the various earth
Gives every fruit and kindly seedling birth:
Still to the toil proportionate the cheer,
The day to night, and equalize the year.
When from [107]the wintry tropic of the sun
Full sixty days their finish’d round have run,
Lo! then the sacred deep Arcturus leave,
First whole-apparent on the verge of eve.
