Georg. 2.83Praetereā genus haud ūnum nec fortibus ulmīs
nec salicī lōtōque neque Īdaeīs cyparissīs,
85nec pinguēs ūnam in faciem nāscuntur olīvae,
orchadēs et radiī et amāra pausia bācā
pōmaque et Alcinoī silvae, nec surculus īdem
Crustumiīs Syriīsque pirīs gravibusque volēmīs.Besides, there is not just one kind of sturdy elm, nor of willow and lotus, nor of Idaean cypresses, nor do rich olives grow in a single form — the orchad and the radius and the pausia with its bitter berry — nor do apples and the orchards of Alcinous, nor is the slip the same for Crustumian and Syrian pears and the heavy volema. Georg. 2.89Nōn eadem arboribus pendet vindēmia nostrīs,
90quam Mēthymnaeō carpit dē palmite Lesbos;Not the same vintage hangs on our trees as Lesbos gathers from the Methymnaean vine; Georg. 2.91sunt Thasiae vītēs, sunt et Mareōtidēs albae,
pinguibus hae terrīs habilēs, leviōribus illae,
et passō Psithiā ūtilior tenuisque Lageos
temptātūra pedēs ōlim vinctūraque linguam,
95purpureae preciaeque, et quō tē carmine dīcam,
Rhaetica?there are Thasian vines, there are white Mareotic too, these suited to rich soils, those to lighter; and the Psithian, better for raisin-wine, and the thin Lagean, which will one day trip the feet and tie the tongue; the purple and the early-ripening; and with what song shall I tell of you, Rhaetic?
Georg. 2.96Nec cellīs ideō contende Falernīs.Yet do not on that account compete with Falernian cellars. Georg. 2.97Sunt et Amineae vītēs, firmissima vīna,
Tmōlius adsurgit quibus et rēx ipse Phanaeus;There are Aminean vines too, the soundest of wines, before which Tmolian and royal Phanaean itself rise in deference; Georg. 2.99Argītisque minor, cui nōn certāverit ūlla
100aut tantum fluere aut totidem dūrāre per annōs.and the lesser Argitis, which none could rival either in flowing so freely or in lasting through so many years. Georg. 2.101Nōn ego tē, Dīs et mēnsīs accepta secundīs,
trānsierim, Rhodia, et tumidīs, Būmaste, racēmīs.I would not pass you by, Rhodian, welcome to the gods and the second course, nor you, Bumastus, with your swelling clusters. Georg. 2.103Sed neque quam multae speciēs nec nōmina quae sint,
est numerus;But how many kinds there are, and what their names, there is no counting; Georg. 2.104neque enim numerō conprendere rēfert;nor indeed does it matter to comprise them in a count; Georg. 2.105quem quī scīre velit, Libycī velit aequoris īdem
discere quam multae Zephyrō turbentur harēnae,
aut ubi nāvigiīs violentior incidit Eurus,
nōsse, quot Īoniī veniant ad lītora flūctūs.whoever would wish to know it would wish likewise to learn how many grains of sand on the Libyan plain are whirled by the west wind, or, when the east wind falls more violently on ships, to know how many waves of the Ionian come to the shores.
