eclogue_n a_o shepherdess_n say_v the_o song_n which_o lysis_n and_o menalcas_n sing_v please_v every_o swain_n and_o make_v the_o valley_n ring_n but_o i_o like_v better_o those_o which_o near_o

which_o they_o make_v the_o prize_n of_o a_o pastoral_n combat_n they_o never_o have_v do_v not_o that_o their_o description_n be_v sometime_o without_o great_a beauty_n and_o be_v write_v without_o admirable_a art_n far_o from_o this_o they_o have_v too_o much_o of_o it_o for_o shepherd_n vida_n a_o latin_a poet_n of_o the_o last_o age_n and_o of_o great_a reputation_n in_o his_o eclogue_n of_o nice_a who_o i_o take_v to_o be_v victoria_n colonna_n the_o marquis_n of_o pescario_n widow_n bring_v in_o the_o shepherd_n damon_n give_v a_o description_n of_o a_o rush_n basket_n which_o he_o be_v

by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o water_n which_o her_o woman_n throw_v on_o her_o face_n and_o he_o add_v that_o he_o will_v have_v express_v many_o complaint_n and_o moan_n if_o they_o can_v be_v express_v on_o rush_n here_o be_v a_o great_a many_o thing_n to_o be_v show_v on_o a_o basket_n neither_o do_v i_o relate_v they_o all_o but_o i_o can_v tell_v how_o all_o this_o can_v be_v express_v on_o rush_n nor_o how_o damon_n who_o own_v he_o can_v express_v on_o it_o the_o complaint_n of_o nice_a be_v not_o at_o a_o loss_n to_o display_v on_o it_o the_o marquess_n grief_n for_o die_v in_o his_o bed_n i_o shrewd_o suspect_v that_o achilles_n shield_n be_v the_o original_a from_o which_o this_o basket_n have_v be_v imitate_v i_o find_v that_o virgil_n have_v use_v similitude_n very_o often_o in_o his_o pastoral_a discourse_n these_o similitude_n be_v very_o proper_o bring_v in_o to_o supply_v the_o place_n of_o those_o trivial_a comparison_n and_o principal_o of_o those_o clownish_a proverbial_a say_n which_o real_a shepherd_n use_v almost_o continual_o but_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o easy_o to_o be_v imitate_v than_o this_o way_n of_o use_v similitude_n it_o be_v wat_fw-mi virgil_n have_v be_v most_o copy_v in_o we_o find_v in_o all_o your_o writer_n of_o eclogue_n nothing_o more_o common_a than_o shepherdess_n who_o exceed_v all_o other_o as_o much_o as_o lofty_a pine_n ever_o top_v the_o lowly_a reed_n or_o high_a oak_n the_o humble_a shrub_n exceed_v we_o see_v nothing_o but_o the_o cruelty_n of_o ungrateful_a shepherdess_n who_o be_v to_o a_o shepherd_n what_o frost_n or_o storm_n be_v to_o the_o tender_a flower_n like_o hale_n to_o ripen_a corn_n etc._n etc._n i_o think_v all_o this_o old_a and_o wear_v threadbare_a at_o this_o time_n of_o day_n and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n on_o it_o it_o be_v no_o great_a pity_n similitude_n natural_o be_v not_o very_o proper_a for_o passion_n and_o shepherd_n shall_v only_o use_v they_o when_o they_o find_v it_o difficult_a to_o express_v themselves_o otherwise_o then_o they_o will_v have_v a_o very_a great_a beauty_n but_o i_o know_v but_o very_o few_o of_o that_o kind_n thus_o we_o have_v pretty_a near_o discover_v the_o pitch_n of_o wit_n which_o shepherd_n ought_v to_o have_v and_o the_o style_n they_o shall_v use_v it_o be_v methinks_v with_o eclogue_n as_o with_o those_o dress_n which_o be_v wear_v at_o masque_n or_o ball_n they_o be_v of_o much_o fine_a stuff_n than_o those_o which_o real_a shepherd_n usual_o wear_v nay_o they_o be_v even_o adorn_v with_o ribbon_n and_o point_n and_o be_v only_o make_v after_o the_o country_n cut_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n the_o thought_n which_o be_v the_o subject_a matter_n of_o eclogue_n aught_o to_o be_v fine_a and_o more_o delicate_a than_o those_o of_o real_a shepherd_n but_o they_o must_v have_v the_o most_o simple_a and_o most_o rural_a dress_n possible_a not_o but_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o use_v both_o simplicity_n and_o a_o country-like_a plainness_n even_o in_o the_o thought_n but_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o this_o simplicity_n and_o country-like_a plainness_n only_o exclude_v your_o excessive_a delicacy_n in_o the_o thought_n like_o that_o of_o the_o refine_a wit_n in_o court_n and_o city_n and_o not_o the_o light_n which_o nature_n and_o the_o passion_n bestow_v of_o themselves_o otherwise_o the_o poet_n will_v degenerate_v and_o run_v into_o childish_a talk_n that_o will_v beget_v laughter_n rather_o than_o admiration_n something_o of_o this_o kind_n be_v pleasant_a enough_o in_o one_o of_o remi_n belleau_n eclogue_n where_o a_o young_a shepherd_n have_v steal_v a_o kiss_n from_o a_o pretty_a shepherdess_n say_v to_o she_o i_o have_v kiss_v some_o new_a fawn_v kid_n like_o other_o swain_n i_o have_v kiss_v the_o suck_a calf_n which_o in_o our_o plain_n young_a colin_n give_v i_o but_o this_o liss_n i_o swear_v be_v sweet_a much_o than_o all_o those_o kiss_n be_v yet_o such_o a_o childishness_n seem_v more_o pardonable_a in_o this_o young_a shepherd_n than_o in_o the_o cyclops_n polyphemus_n in_o theocritus_n idyllium_n that_o bear_v his_o name_n and_o which_o be_v fine_a he_o be_v think_v how_o to_o be_v revenge_v on_o his_o mother_n a_o sea_n nymph_n because_o she_o never_o take_v care_n to_o make_v galataea_n another_o sea_n nymph_n have_v a_o kindness_n for_o his_o giantship_n so_o he_o say_v to_o his_o mistress_n that_o he_o will_v tell_v his_o mother_n to_o make_v her_o mad_a that_o he_o have_v à_fw-fr pain_n in_o his_o head_n and_o in_o his_o thigh_n it_o be_v hard_a to_o imagine_v that_o ugly_a as_o he_o be_v his_o mother_n can_v dote_v on_o he_o so_o much_o as_o to_o be_v very_o much_o concern_v to_o hear_v the_o poor_a little_a urchin_n have_v those_o petty_a ill_n or_o that_o the_o clownish_a giant_n can_v invent_v so_o gentle_a a_o revenge_n his_o character_n be_v better_a keep_v when_o he_o promise_v his_o mistress_n to_o make_v she_o a_o present_a of_o a_o litter_n of_o cub_n or_o young_a bear_n which_o he_o breed_v for_o she_o in_o his_o cave_n and_o now_o that_o i_o speak_v of_o bear_n i_o will_v glad_o know_v why_o daphnis_n when_o he_o be_v go_v to_o die_v bid_v adieu_o to_o the_o bear_n the_o lion_n and_o the_o wolf_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o fair_a fountain_n arethuse_n and_o to_o the_o silver_n stream_n of_o sicily_n methinks_v a_o man_n do_v not_o often_o use_v to_o regret_n the_o loss_n of_o such_o company_n i_o have_v but_o one_o remark_n more_o to_o make_v which_o have_v no_o manner_n of_o connection_n with_o those_o that_o go_v before_o it_o be_v concern_v those_o eclogue_n which_o have_v a_o burden_n much_o like_o those_o in_o ballad_n that_o be_v a_o verse_n or_o two_o repeat_v several_a time_n i_o need_v not_o say_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o place_v those_o repeat_v verse_n in_o such_o part_n of_o the_o eclogue_n as_o may_v require_v or_o at_o least_o bear_v such_o a_o verse_n to_o interlard_v they_o but_o it_o may_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o observe_v that_o all_o the_o art_n that_o theocritus_n have_v use_v in_o a_o idyllium_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v only_o to_o take_v this_o burden_n and_o scatter_v it_o up_o and_o down_o through_o his_o idyllium_n right_a or_o wrong_n without_o the_o least_o regard_n to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o place_n where_o he_o insert_v it_o nay_o without_o even_o so_o much_o as_o respect_v some_o of_o the_o phrase_n which_o he_o make_v no_o difficulty_n to_o split_v in_o two_o i_o have_v here_o speak_v with_o a_o great_a
