Bucolics

Pasiphaë's monstrous passion for a bull is certainly a subject enough fitted for bucolics.

His compositions in Latin are—Africa, an epic poem; his Bucolics, containing twelve eclogues; and three books of epistles.

The Eclogues, sometimes called also Bucolica or Bucolics, are ten short pastoral poems.

The Bucolics are eclogues, and never touch upon either of these subjects.

I took with me a flute, a copy of the Bucolics of Virgil, and numerous linen garments.
