THE AENEID: ANCHISES TO AENEAS by PUBLIUS VERGILIUS MARO

First Line: THE HEAVEN, THE EARTH, AND ALL THE LIQUID MAYNE
Last Line: ALL THIS GREAT BODY OF THE UNIVERSE.

The heaven, the earth, and all the liquid mayne,
The Moones bright Globe, and Starres Titanian,
A Spirit within maintaines: and their whole Masse,
A Minde, which through each part infus'd doth passe,
Fashions, and workes, and wholly transpierce
All this great body of the Universe.
