HAVE
found
it
not
more
difficult
to
Translate
than
to
find
such
Patrons
as
I
desire
for
my
Translation
.
For
though
is
not
wanting
in
a
Learned
Nobility
,
yet
such
are
my
unhappy
Circumstances
,
that
they
have
confin'd
me
to
a
narrow
choice
.
To
the
greater
part
,
I
have
not
the
Honour
to
be
known
;
and
to
some
of
them
I
cannot
shew
at
present
,
by
any
publick
Act
,
that
grateful
Respect
which
I
shall
ever
bear
them
in
my
heart
.
Yet
I
have
no
reason
to
complain
of
Fortune
,
since
in
the
midst
of
that
abundance
I
could
not
possibly
have
chosen
better
,
than
the
Worthy
Son
of
so
Illustrious
a
Father
.
He
was
the
Patron
of
my
Manhood
,
when
I
Flourish'd
in
the
opinion
of
the
World
;
though
with
small
advantage
to
my
Fortune
,
'till
he
awaken'd
the
remembrance
of
my
Royal
Master
.
He
was
that
or
that
who
introduc'd
me
to
And
tho'
he
soon
dismiss'd
himself
from
State-Affairs
,
yet
in
the
short
time
of
his
Administration
he
shone
so
powerfully
upon
me
,
that
like
the
heat
of
a
-
Summer
,
he
ripen'd
the
Fruits
of
Poetry
in
a
cold
Clymate
;
and
gave
me
wherewithal
to
subsist
at
least
,
in
the
long
Winter
which
succeeded
.
What
I
now
offer
to
your
Lordship
,
is
the
wretched
remainder
of
a
sickly
Age
,
worn
out
with
Study
,
and
oppress'd
by
Fortune
:
without
other
support
than
the
Constancy
and
Patience
of
a
Christian
.
You
,
my
Lord
,
are
yet
in
the
flower
of
your
Youth
,
and
may
live
to
enjoy
the
benefits
of
the
Peace
which
is
promis'd
I
can
only
hear
of
that
Blessing
:
for
Years
,
and
,
above
all
things
,
want
of
health
,
have
shut
me
out
from
sharing
in
the
happiness
.
The
Poets
,
who
condemn
their
to
Hell
,
had
added
to
his
Torments
,
if
they
had
plac'd
him
in
which
is
the
proper
Emblem
of
my
Condition
.
The
Fruit
and
the
Water
may
reach
my
Lips
,
but
cannot
enter
:
And
if
they
cou'd
,
yet
I
want
a
Palate
as
well
as
a
Digestion
.
But
it
is
some
kind
of
pleasure
to
me
,
to
please
those
whom
I
respect
.
And
I
am
not
altogether
out
of
hope
,
that
these
may
give
your
Lordship
some
delight
,
though
made
English
by
one
,
who
scarce
remembers
that
Passion
which
inspir'd
my
Author
when
he
wrote
them
.
These
were
his
first
Essay
in
Poetry
,
(
if
the
was
not
his
:
)
And
it
was
more
excusable
in
him
to
describe
Love
when
he
was
young
,
than
for
me
to
Translate
him
when
I
am
Old
.
He
died
at
the
Age
of
fifty
two
,
and
I
began
this
Work
in
my
great
But
having
perhaps
a
better
constitution
than
my
Author
,
I
have
wrong'd
him
less
,
considering
my
Circumstances
,
than
those
who
have
attempted
him
before
,
either
in
our
own
,
or
any
Modern
Language
.
And
though
this
Version
is
not
void
of
Errours
,
yet
it
comforts
me
that
the
faults
of
others
are
not
worth
finding
.
Mine
are
neither
gross
nor
frequent
,
in
those
wherein
my
Master
has
rais'd
himself
above
that
humble
Stile
in
which
delights
,
and
which
I
must
confefs
is
proper
to
the
Education
and
Converse
of
Shepherds
:
for
he
found
the
strength
of
his
Genius
b●times
,
and
was
even
in
his
youth
preluding
to
his
and
his
He
cou'd
not
forbear
to
try
his
Wings
,
though
his
Pinions
were
not
harden'd
to
maintain
a
long
laborious
flight
.
Yet
sometimes
they
bore
him
to
a
pitch
as
lofty
,
as
ever
he
was
able
to
reach
afterwards
.
But
when
he
was
admonish'd
by
his
subject
to
descend
,
he
came
down
gently
circling
in
the
air
,
and
singing
to
the
ground
.
Like
a
Lark
,
melodious
in
her
mounting
,
and
continuing
her
Song
'till
she
alights
:
still
preparing
for
a
higher
flight
at
her
next
sally
,
and
tuning
her
voice
to
better
musick
.
The
Fourth
,
the
Sixth
,
and
the
Eighth
are
clear
Evidences
of
this
truth
.
In
the
three
first
he
contains
himself
within
his
bounds
;
but
Addressing
to
his
great
Patron
,
and
himself
no
vulgar
Poet
,
he
no
longer
cou'd
restrain
the
freedom
of
his
Spirit
,
but
began
to
assert
his
Native
Character
,
which
is
sublimity
.
Putting
himself
under
the
conduct
of
the
same
whom
afterwards
he
gave
for
a
Guide
to
his
'T
is
true
he
was
sensible
of
his
own
boldness
;
and
we
know
it
by
the
which
begins
his
Fourth
He
remember'd
,
like
young
that
he
was
forbidden
to
Engage
;
but
what
avails
an
express
Command
to
a
youthful
Courage
,
which
presages
Victory
in
the
attempt
?
Encourag'd
with
Success
,
he
proceeds
farther
in
the
Sixth
,
and
invades
the
Province
of
Philosophy
.
And
notwithstanding
that
had
forewarn'd
him
of
Singing
Wars
,
as
he
there
confesses
,
yet
he
presum'd
that
the
search
of
Nature
was
as
free
to
him
as
to
who
at
his
Age
explain'd
it
according
to
the
Principles
of
In
his
Eighth
he
has
innovated
nothing
;
the
former
part
of
it
being
the
Complaint
and
Despair
of
a
forsaken
Lover
:
the
latter
,
a
Charm
of
an
Enchantress
,
to
renew
a
lost
Affection
.
But
the
Complaint
perhaps
contains
some
Topicks
which
are
above
the
Condition
of
his
Persons
;
and
our
Author
seems
to
have
made
his
Herdsmen
somewhat
too
Learn'd
for
their
Profession
:
The
Charms
are
also
of
the
same
nature
,
but
both
were
Copied
from
and
had
receiv'd
the
applause
of
former
Ages
in
their
Original
.
There
is
a
kind
of
Rusticity
in
all
those
pompous
Verses
;
somewhat
of
a
Holiday
Shepherd
strutting
in
his
Country
Buskins
.
The
like
may
be
observ'd
,
both
in
the
and
the
where
the
Similitudes
are
drawn
from
the
Woods
and
Meadows
.
They
seem
to
me
to
represent
our
Poet
betwixt
a
Farmer
,
and
a
Courtier
,
when
he
left
and
drest
himself
in
his
best
Habit
to
appear
before
his
Patron
:
Somewhat
too
fine
for
the
place
from
whence
he
came
,
and
yet
retaining
part
of
its
simplicity
.
In
the
Ninth
he
Collects
some
Beautiful
passages
which
were
scatter'd
in
which
he
cou'd
not
insert
into
any
of
his
former
and
yet
was
unwilling
they
shou'd
be
lost
.
In
all
the
rest
he
is
equal
to
his
Master
,
and
observes
like
him
a
just
decorum
,
both
of
the
Subject
,
and
the
Persons
.
As
particularly
in
the
Third
where
one
of
his
Shepherds
describes
a
Bowl
,
or
Mazer
,
curiously
Carv'd
.
He
remembers
only
the
name
of
and
forgets
the
other
on
set
purpose
:
(
whether
he
means
I
dispute
not
,
)
but
he
was
certainly
forgotten
,
to
shew
his
Country
Swain
was
no
great
Scholar
.
After
all
,
I
must
confess
that
the
Boorish
Dialect
of
has
a
secret
charm
in
it
,
which
the
Language
cannot
imitate
,
though
has
drawn
it
down
as
low
as
possibly
he
cou'd
;
as
in
the
and
some
other
words
,
for
which
he
was
so
unjustly
blam'd
by
the
bad
Criticks
of
his
Age
,
who
cou'd
not
see
the
Beauties
of
that
which
the
Poet
describ'd
in
those
expressions
.
But
may
justly
be
preferr'd
as
the
Original
,
without
injury
to
who
modestly
contents
himself
with
the
second
place
,
and
glories
only
in
being
the
first
who
transplanted
into
his
own
Country
;
and
brought
it
there
to
bear
as
happily
as
the
Cherry-trees
which
brought
from
Our
own
Nation
has
produc'd
a
third
Poet
in
this
kind
,
not
inferiour
to
the
two
former
.
For
the
Shepherd's
Kalendar
of
is
not
to
be
match'd
in
any
Modern
Language
.
Not
even
by
which
infinitely
transcends
as
having
more
of
Nature
in
it
,
and
being
almost
wholly
clear
from
the
wretched
affectation
of
Learning
.
I
will
say
nothing
of
the
because
no
modern
can
bear
Criticism
.
'T
is
no
wonder
that
rolling
down
through
so
many
barbarous
Ages
,
from
the
Spring
of
it
bears
along
with
it
the
filth
and
ordures
of

for

Let
me
only
add
,
for
his
reputation
,
being
Master
of
our
Northern
Dialect
;
and
skill'd
in
's
English
,
has
so
exactly
imitated
the
that
his
Love
is
a
perfect
Image
of
that
Passion
which
God
infus'd
into
both
Sexes
,
before
it
was
corrupted
with
the
Knowledge
of
Arts
,
and
the
Ceremonies
of
what
we
call
good
Manners
.
My
Lord
,
I
know
to
whom
I
dedicate
:
And
cou'd
not
have
been
induc'd
by
any
motive
to
put
this
part
of
or
any
other
,
into
unlearned
Hands
.
You
have
read
him
with
pleasure
,
and
I
dare
say
,
with
admiration
in
the
Latine
,
of
which
you
are
a
Master
.
You
have
added
to
your
Natural
Endowments
,
which
without
flattery
are
Eminent
,
the
superstructures
of
Study
,
and
the
knowledge
of
good
Authors
.
Courage
,
Probity
,
and
Humanity
are
inherent
in
you
.
These
Vertues
have
ever
been
habitual
to
the
Ancient
House
of
from
whence
you
are
descended
,
and
of
which
our
Chronicles
make
so
honourable
mention
in
the
long
Wars
betwixt
the
Rival
Families
of
Your
Forefathers
have
asserted
the
Party
which
they
chose
'till
death
,
and
dy'd
for
its
defence
in
the
Fields
of
Battel
.
You
have
besides
the
fresh
remembrance
of
your
Noble
Father
;
from
whom
you
never
can
degenerate
.
It
being
almost
morally
impossible
for
you
to
be
other
than
you
are
by
kind
;
I
need
neither
praise
nor
incite
your
Vertue
.
You
are
acquainted
with
the
History
,
and
know
without
my
information
that
Patronage
and
Clientship
always
descended
from
the
Fathers
to
the
Sons
;
and
that
the
same
Houses
,
had
recourse
to
the
same
Patrician
Line
,
which
had
formerly
protected
them
:
and
follow'd
their
Principles
and
Fortunes
to
the
last
.
So
that
I
am
your
Lordship
's
by
descent
,
and
part
of
your
Inheritance
.
And
the
natural
inclination
,
which
I
have
to
serve
you
,
adds
to
your
paternal
right
,
for
I
was
wholly
yours
from
the
first
moment
,
when
I
had
the
happiness
and
honour
of
being
known
to
you
.
Be
pleas'd
therefore
to
accept
the
Rudiments
of
's
Poetry
:
Coursely
Translated
I
confess
,
but
which
yet
retains
some
Beauties
of
the
Author
,
which
neither
the
barbarity
of
our
Language
,
nor
my
unskilfulness
cou'd
so
much
sully
,
but
that
they
appear
sometimes
in
the
dim
mirrour
which
I
hold
before
you
.
The
Subject
is
not
unsuitable
to
your
Youth
,
which
allows
you
yet
to
Love
,
and
is
proper
to
your
present
Scene
of
Life
.
Rural
Recreations
abroad
,
and
Books
at
home
,
are
the
innocent
Pleasures
of
a
Man
who
is
early
Wise
;
and
gives
Fortune
no
more
hold
of
him
,
than
of
necessity
he
must
.
'T
is
good
,
on
some
occasions
to
think
beforehand
as
little
as
we
can
;
to
enjoy
as
much
of
the
present
as
will
not
endanger
our
futurity
;
and
to
provide
our selves
of
the
's
Saddle
,
which
will
be
sure
to
amble
,
when
the
World
is
upon
the
hardest
trott
.
What
I
humbly
offer
to
your
Lordship
,
is
of
this
nature
.
I
wish
it
pleasant
,
and
am
sure
't
is
innocent
.
May
you
ever
continue
your
esteem
for
and
not
lessen
it
,
for
the
faults
of
his
Translatour
;
who
is
with
all
manner
of
Respect
,
and
sense
of
Gratitude

Occasion

First
Pastoral

this
.
When
had
setled
himself
in

that
he
might
reward
his
Troops
for

past
Service

Enemies

Sufferer
among
the
rest
;
who
afterwards
recover'd
his
Estate
by
's
Intercession
,
and
as
an
Instance
of
his
Gratitude
compos'd
the
following
Pastoral
;
where
he
sets
out
his
own
Good
Fortune
in
the
Person
of
and
the
Calamities
of

Neighbours

that
some
Beautiful
Youth
is
meant
by
him
,
to
whom
here
makes
Love
;
in
's
Language
and
Simplicity
.
His
way
of
Courtship
is
wholly
Pastoral
:
He
complains
of
the
Boys
Coyness
,
recommends
himself
for
his
Beauty
and
Skill
in
Piping
;
invites
the
Youth
into
the
Country
,
where
he
promises
him
the
Diversions
of
the
Place
;
with
a
suitable
Present
of
Nuts
and
Apples
:
But
when
he
finds
nothing
will
prevail
,
he
resolves
to
quit
his
troublesome
Amour
,
and
betake
himself
again
to
his
former
Business
.

some
smart
strokes

has

most

accordingly

Parties

declares
himself

Decision

weighty

leaves
the
Victory
undetermin'd

about
him

Book
begins
with
an
Invocation
of
some
Rural
Deities
,
and
a
Compliment
to

,
of
the

In

In

In

he
advances
to
Animals
.
And
in
the
last
,
singles
out
the
Bee
,
which
may
be
reckon'd
the
most
sagacious
of

In
this
Georgic
he
shews
us
what
Station

when
they
begin
