Excerpt from Echoes From Theocritvs A few special acknowledgments are necessary. In the Echoes from Theocritus it is Bishop Wordsworth's edition of the poet to which the reference is made but I am greatly indebted to Mr. Andrew Lang's excellent prose translation for renderings of particular words and phrases which very likely I should not have lighted upon without his aid. It will be noticed that the first five sonnets have no text in the Author. The rest are founded upon some one passage in the Idyls or Epigrams. How slight the foundation often is may be ascertained by anyone curious enough to follow up the references given. The influence of Mr. F. W. H. Myers' deeply interest ing 'classical Essays will be traced in the sonnets on Virgil' and Something Lost.'
