Excerpt from The Idylls of Theocritus, Bion, and Moschus, and the War-Songs of Tyrtæus In the following translation of Theocritus, Bion, and Moschus, the text of Kiessling has been mainly adopted. But where a passage appeared obscure or corrupt, the translator has used his own judgment in deciding between the readings suggested by Heindorf, in 1810, Briggs, in 1821, and Wordsworth, in 1844; and has either recorded in notes, or admitted into the body of the translation, whichever he deemed preferable. He has also had recourse to the Poetæ Græci Minores, of Gaisford; to "Theocritus Sacram Scripturam illustrans," by Chr. Porschberger, Lipsiæ, 1744; and to the several metrical translations of Theocritus, &c., by Creech, Fawkes, Polwhele, and Chapman, the latter of which is appended to this volume. And he has given, in the form of notes, much information derived from these, and from scattered criticisms in the Classical Museum and elsewhere, including Smith's Dictionaries of Greek and Roman Antiquities, and Biography. This labour has been undertaken and completed in the hope that it may be useful to those who have not leisure to search for themselves, and yet would fain refresh their memory with the sweet strains of the Doric minstrelsy, as well as to those who require assistance towards mastering these confessedly difficult poets.

Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from The Idylls of Theocritus, Bion, and Moschus, and the War-Songs of Tyrtaeus Whatever the labour, the translator is aware that the credit attaching to a prose translation is by no means large. Yet he believes that, properly applied, such a work may be of great advantage and though a resolute opponent of the in discriminate use of a crib, he is not the less persuaded that there are many hard-working tyros, as well as advanced students, to whom it may be a great boon, and whose progress in classical knowledge it will assist rather than impede. He has taken up the work con amore; inasmuch as the taste for the Bucolic Poets, which he imbibed under one who had a keen appreciation of their beauties, - and who, in his too brief tenure of the head-mastership of one of our principal schools, manifested singular felicity in inspiring his pupils with a zest for their song, - has grown into an ardent desire to do somewhat towards their more extended study. He rejoices to hear that there is hope of a fresh edition of the Greek Bucolic Poets from the University of Cambridge, the promise of which is not likely to be imperfectly fulfilled, considering the hand from which it is to come. Meanwhile, if through this unpretending translation, which, without being servile in its literality, is, the translator hopes, sufficiently close, a score more men within the next two years shall be induced to place Theo critus on their list for the public examinations at Oxford, he will not regret the labour bestowed upon rendering into bare prose a hard whose lays are so full of poetry.
