eclogue

In the eclogue this danger is earnestly discussed by the two Yorkshire farmers, Roger and Willie.

The title (as indeed the principal subject of the eclogue) was in consequence altered from 'Lansdown' to 'Jekyll.'

Boccaccio conceived this Eclogue in a wood, and therefore he calls himself Silvio.

The Eclogue roughly is as follows: Boccaccio in a sleepless and restless night full of unhappy regrets longs for the day.

Mopsus laments his death; Menalcas proclaims his divinity; the whole eclogue consisting of an elegy and an apotheosis.
