In an epic poem whose latter books offer almost nothing of interest to me but dogmatic propaganda and less than enticing imitations of the Iliad, here is a little homoerotic epyllion that reminds one of the earlier Virgil: the tener poeta qui Buccolicas scripsit. No wonder Byron wanted to translate it and it alone.
