Note 1 — Chapter XIII · THE WHITE-FACED DECTICUS: THE INSTRUMENT OF SOUND
Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
“Beneath the shade which beechen boughs diffuse,
You, Tityrus, entertain your sylvan muse.
. . . . . . .
These blessings friend, a deity bestowed:
. . . . . . .
He gave my kine to graze the flowery plain
And to my pipe renewed the rural strain.”
—Pastorals: book i.; Dryden’s translation. ↑
