...r not: because not only _Theocritus_, whoseShepherds are as well vers'd in History as other Men, and _Virgil_, whose Shepherds are often Philosophers, have gone in this way, but ourCountryman Mr. Phillips also, whose excellency is his Correctness.
    (Lang. ) _Thrice happy Shepherds now! for_ Dorset _loves The Country Muse, and our delightful Groves. While_ Anna _reigns. O ever may she reign!_ And bring on Earth a Golden-Age again. _Pastor_. 6. I shall leave the Reader also to determine concerning the followingpiece of Knowledge.
