Nigra fere et presso pinguis sub vomere terra et cui putre solum (namque hoc imitamur arando), optima frumentis: non ullo ex aequore cernes plura domum tardis decedere plaustra iuvencis: aut unde iratus silvam devexit arator et nemora evertit multos ignava per annos, antiquasque domos avium cum stirpibus imis eruit; illae altum nidis petiere relictis, at rudis enituit impulso vomere campus.
Land that is black, and rich beneath the shares pressure and with a crumbly soil'for such a soil we try to rival with our ploughing'is, in the main, best for corn; from no other land will you see more wagons wending homeward behind slow bullocks; or land from which the angry ploughman has carried off the timber, levelling groves that have idled many a year, and tearing up by their deepest roots the olden homes of the birds'these leave their nests and seek the sky, but forthwith the untried plain glistens under the driven ploughshare.
