Note 39 — SUMMER:
Reading edition
Virg. Ecl. ii. 60:
habitarunt dii quoque sylvas.
Ecl. x. 18:
Et formosus oves ad flumina pavit Adonis.—Pope.
Dryden's translation of the first line is
The gods to live in woods have left the skies.
The second line he expanded into a couplet:
Along the streams, his flock Adonis led, And yet the queen of beauty blest his bed.
This last verse has nothing answering to it in Virgil, but it suggested ver. 63 of the pastoral to Pope, who copied Dryden, and not the original.
