Notes

  • Contents partially indexed; to be completed.
  • Epigraph: By chance, just as Daphnis had settled down in the shade / Of a whispering ilex tree, Thyrsis and Corydon came there, / Thyrsis with sheep, Corydon with milk-heavy she-goats, / Two youths in their prime, Arcadian singers both of them, And equally keen to make up a verse, or match one (Virgil, Eclogues VII).
