Theocritus, translated into English Verse

Theocritus, translated into English verse is a long poem consisting of 31 idylls. Excerpt: "THYRSIS. Sweet are the whispers of yon pine that make Low music o'er the spring, and, Goatherd, sweet Thy piping; second thou to Pan alone. Is he the horned ram? then thine the goat. Is his the goat? to thee shall fall the kid; And toothsome is the flesh of unmilked kids. GOATHERD. Shepherd, thy lay is as the noise of streams Falling and falling aye from yon tall crag."
