Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from P. Vergili Maronis Opera, Vol. 2: Notes Meliboeus, a dispossessed and exiled shepherd, encounters Tityrus fortunate in the undisturbed possession of his homestead. Tityrus is represented as a farm-slave who has just worked out his freedom; and this symbolises the confirmation of Virgil in his property, the slave's master representing Cc tavianus, and the two ideas of the slave's emancipation and Virgil's restora tion being so mixed up as to confuse the whole narrative which is at one time allegorical, at another historical.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from P. Vergili Maronis, Bucolica: Edited With Introduction and English Notes These subjects, with lovely touches of Sicilian scenery, and written in a soft and luxurious yet easy rhythm, make up the new genus of poetry called Bucolic or Pastoral, or sometimes known by its Theocritean name of the Idyll. The poetry of Theocritus is half art and half nature. On the one hand it is the product of a literary epoch and a luxurious age; it is a kind of reaction from city and court life in favour of simplicity, open air, and rest. It is not the spontaneous singing of shepherds from delight in the song; it is rather the trained and cultivated court poet who refreshes himself and finds a new delight for his readers by painting in the most mellifluous verse the sayings and doing - or rather the singings and laziness - of the Sicilian shepherds. On the other hand, the shepherds that he paints are real; they are therewith their sheep, their flutes, their proverbs, their rude quarrels and ruder jests. There is plenty of gaiety and life and natural beauty, but the country is no ideal home of innocence; still less is there any learned allegory, or any masquerading of cultivated persons in the guise of rustics. But the form of Bucolic poetry once established, it lent itself - like epic and didactic poetry - to imitation in later literary ages, by poets who were attracted to the pastoral surrounding as a convenient setting for their ideas; but who were as far as possible from wanting to describe any real pastoral life. It became a convention of poetic art. It was understood, when the poet began to talk of shepherds, that no real shepherds were to be thought of; but the pastoral foreground was a pleasant and familiar introduction to what the poet wanted to say. It might be a nature description; it might be a lament for a dead friend; it might be a love story; it might be some personal allusion under the recognised disguise of shepherd names and pastoral incidents. This fashion, with all its drawbacks, has produced in our language some of the most beautiful poems we have, witness Lycidas, Adonais, and Thyrsis; and of this fashion Vergil set the example.
