Tilled

"Far away / there lies a place (Greeks style the land to-day / Hesperia) fruitful and of ancient fame / and strong in arms. OEnotrian folk, they say, / first tilled the soil. Italian is the name / borne by the later race, with Italus who came."

Far off there lies, with many a spacious plain, / the land of Mars, by Thracians tilled and sown, / where stern Lycurgus whilom held his reign; / a hospitable shore, to Troy well-known, / her home-gods leagued in union with our own, / while Fortune smiled.

Mary tilled her land.

The farmer tilled the soil in the bottom field.
