"Best remembered for his unfinished epic, the Aeneid, the poet Vergil was celebrated in his time both for the perfection of his art and for the centrality of his ideas to Roman culture. The Eclogues, his earliest confirmed work, were composed in part out of political considerations: when the Roman authorities threatened to seize his family's land, Vergil's appeal in the form of Eclogue IX won a stay. Eclogue I appears to be a thank-you f ..."

rather than rhyme to make Anglo-Saxon sound patterns. Since my translations
are almost line-for-line, ... The refrain, which often undercuts the entire stanza, is
an essential component of the cantigas de amigo. I have based my translation on
