Pulvis aquae tenuis modico cum pondere lapsus,
Sole madens, aestate fluens, in frigore siccus,
Flumina facturus totas prius occupo terras.

Peck:

Dust of the water, light of weight am I;
I'm dripping in the sun, but in the cold am dry,
I rivers make, though first upon the ground I lie.

Ohl:

Light dust of water fallen with moderate weight, dripping in the sunlight, fluid in the summer heat, dry in the cold, I, who will make rivers, first occupy whole lands.

Give up? Here's the answer.
