In poem 2, I really dont see how "seeking greedily" fits in. Where is it in the latin?

It's appetenti. It's not that much of a stretch, especially in context...

i don't like it, either. it's not that the latin doesn't support it, it's just poor english translation, imo.

appetenti can mean to desire, to seek instinctively or to attack take your pick
