Original Text:
LA MOISSON.
Tandis que par vos soins de la gerbe entassée
Surgit la pyramide à la cime élancée,
Clyto, la ménagere au port tranquille et
Dans l'amphore de grès trempe la soupe aux choux.
(Les Georgiques, traduction inédite de Mr. Ponsard.)

Translation:
THE HARVEST.
Whilst as by their mutual work and endeavour
Rises the pyramid to a slender crown,
Clyto, the thrifty, fills with peaceful pleasure
Into an amphora the cabbage for a Faun..

(The Georgics, unpublished translation by Mr. Ponsard)
