[Footnote 20: Virg. Ecl. x. 9, out of Theocritus:
Quae nemora, aut qui vos saltus habuere, puellae
Naiades, indigno cum Gallus amore periret?
Nam neque Parnassi vobis juga, nam neque Pindi,
Ulla moram fecere, neque Aoniae Aganippe.--POPE.
Ogilby's translation:
Say, Naiades, where were you, in what grove,
Or lawn, when Gallus fell by ill-matched love.--WAKEFIELD.]
[Footnote 21: Addison's Campaign:
Or where the Seine her flow'ry fields divides,
Or where the Loire through winding vineyards glides.--WAKEFIELD.
Pope wrote at random. The Cam does not divide vales, but runs, or rather
creeps, through one of the flattest districts in England.]
[Footnote 22:
Oft in the crystal spring I cast a view,
And equalled Hylas, if the glass be true;
But since those graces meet my eyes no more, shun, etc.
Virgil again (Ecl. ii. 25), from the Cyclops of Theocritus:
nuper me in littore vidi,
Cum placidum ventis staret mare; non ego Daphnim,
Judice te, metuam, si nunquam fallit imago.--POPE.
In his first version, which is closer to Virgil than the second, Pope
had in his mind Dryden's translation, Ecl. ii. 33:
and if the glass be true,
With Daphnis I may vie.]
