From the publisher

Virgil, born in 70 B.C., is best remembered for his masterpiece, The Aeneid. He earned great favor by portraying Augustus as a descendant of the half-god, half-man Aeneas. Although Virgil swore on his deathbed that The Aeneid was incomplete and unworthy, it has been considered one of the greatest works of Western literature for more than two thousand years.

First line

The subject is announced in the first five lines; the remainder of the Eclogue fills in that outline with vivid details about the two contrasting characters, their past, present and future.
