PREFACE
The translator wishes to record his indebtedness to many predecessors, from the author of the Sixe Idillia to the late Andrew Lang. His thanks are also due, among other friends, to Mr. A. S. F. Gow for allowing him access to the unpublished results of his investigations into the “Bucolic Masquerade” and the Pattern-Poems.
