Straight opening her fertile womb, the earth obey’d the word, and teem’d creatures numberless, in perfect forms and fully grown. Cheerful roaring stands the tawny lion. In sudden leaps the flexible tiger appears. The nimble stag bears up his branching head. With flying mane and fiery look, impatient neighs the sprightly steed. The cattle in herds already seek their food on fields and meadows green. And o’er the ground, as plants, are spread the fleecy, meek and bleating flock. Unnumber’d as the sands in whirls arose the host of insects. In long dimensions creeps with sinuous trace the worm.
