To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But sad Menalcas fed a smouldering gloom, As grieves a girl betrothed to unknown groom. And first in song was Daphnis from that time, And wived a Naiad in his blooming prime.
IDYLL IX.
THE PASTOR, OR THE HERDSMEN.
Daphnis. Menalcas.
DAPHNIS ! begin the pastoral song for me ; Begin, and let Menalcas follow thee. Meanwhile the calves the mother-cows put under, Let the bulls feed but not roam far asunder, Scorning the herd and crop the leafy spray ; And leave the heifers to their frolic play. Begi...n for me the sweet bucolic strain, And let Menalcas take it up again.
DAPHNIS.
" Sweet low the cow and calf the tones are sweet, The pipe, the cowherd and myself repeat. My couch is by cool water, and is strown With skins of milk-white heifers ; them threw down, While they cropt arbutus, the south-west wind From the bluff crag. There stretched, no more I mind The scorching summer than a loving pair Their parents sage, who bid them each ' beware ! ' " Thus Daphnis sweetly sung at my request ; Menalcas next his dulcet tones exprest.
