TITYRUS AND MELIBŒUS.
Table of Contents
Tityrus mine, reclining in the shade
Of spreading beech, thou canst invoke the muse
Of the still forest, with thy slender reed.
But we forsake our dear, our native fields,
We fly our country, Tityrus, whilst thou
In easy shelter, dost inform the woods
Of Amaryllis' charms.
Tityrus. O Melibœus
It was a god that helped us to this ease
Always a god to me; and from my fold
A tender lamb shall often, from this time
Be offered at his shrine; 'tis by his will
That, as thou seest, my cattle wander free,
Whilst I can here indulge in rustic song.
Melibœus. Indeed, I envy not, but wonder more
For in all parts the country is disturbed.
See, I myself, in weary mood, drive forth
My flock of goats—look! scarcely can I drag
This one along—she, just now, hath borne twins.
Hope of my flock! in thickest hazel copse.
But—having brought them forth—she left them then
On the bare rock, deserted. This our grief
I call to mind, erewhile was prophesied
To our slow sense, by lightning-scathed oaks
(As oft the crow from hollow ilex warns
Of black disaster.) Tityrus, now tell
Of this thy god, to us, who know him not.
Tityrus. The city they call Rome, O Melibœus,
I likened in my foolish mind to ours,
Where we are wont to drive our new-weaned lambs.
So one compares the little things with large
Kids with their mothers, puppies with their sires;
But, as the cypress towers o'er hedgerow shrubs.
So lifts fair Rome her head o'er other towns.
Melibœus. And what great cause led to thy seeing Rome?
Tityrus. The cause was Freedom; she though late did yet
At length regard her tardy follower.
Such long delay—his beard was
