<\/p>\n

Carminis inceptor mihi Jupiter; auspice terras<\/p>\n

linquo Iove; excelsam reserat dux Iupiter aethram<\/p>\n

imus in astra Iovis monitu; Iovis omine caelum,<\/p>\n

et Iovis imperio mortalibus aethera pando.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Hic statio, hic sedes primi patris; iste paterni\u00a0\u00a0 5<\/p>\n

principium motus, vis fulminis iste corusci,<\/p>\n

vita elementorum, mundi calor, aetheris ignis,<\/p>\n

astrorumque vigor, perpes substantia lucis,<\/p>\n

et numerus celsi modulaminis; hic tener aer,<\/p>\n

materiaeque gravis concretio; sucus ab alto\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 10<\/p>\n

corporibus caelo; cunctarum alimonia rerum;<\/p>\n

flos et flamma animae, qui discurrente meatu<\/p>\n

molis primigenae penetralia dura resolvens<\/p>\n

implevit largo venas operatus amore,<\/p>\n

ordinis ut proprii foedus daret; iste calorem,\u00a0\u00a0 15<\/p>\n

quo digesta capax solidaret semina mundus,<\/p>\n

inseruit. rite hunc primum, medium, atque supremum<\/p>\n

vox secreta canit sibi; nam permixtus utrimque,<\/p>\n

actor agendorum, propriique patrator amoris,<\/p>\n

et mundi vere pastor sacer. Hic chaos altum\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 20<\/p>\n

lumine perrumpit; tenebrarum hic vincula primus<\/p>\n

solvit, et ipse parens rerum fluitantia fixit.<\/p>\n

……<\/p>\n

Hoc duce per tumidi ferimur freta gurgitis; isto\u00a0 41<\/p>\n

praeceptore solum gravibus versamus aratris;<\/p>\n

iste modum statuit signis; hic rebus honorem<\/p>\n

infundit; tenebris hic interlabitur aethrae,<\/p>\n

viscera et aethereos animans genitabilis artus.\u00a0\u00a0 45\u00a0 <\/p>\n

A bit more info. on Avienus is here<\/a>. The text I used was that of Despois and Saviot (Paris: Panckoucke, 1843), available here <\/a>through Google books.<\/p>\n
