Thyrsis declines to pronounce either conqueror: "Este pares: et ab hoc concordes vivite: nam vos Et decor et cantus et amor sociavit et aetas." The rhythm is pleasing; the style simple and flowing; and if we did not possess the model we might admire the copy. The tone of exaggeration which characterises all the poetry of Nero's time mars the reality of these pastoral scenes.
In the composition of all these pictures, however, we do not find that elevated and picturesque taste which characterises Ruisdael; on the contrary they have a thoroughly portrait-like appearance, decidedly prosaic, but always surprizingly truthful.
A part therefore of the innocence that characterises our species is to be attributed to philanthropy. Childhood is diffident.
