XX.

Ll. 11-20. An imitation of Bion, _Idyll_ iv.

L. 15. _et sa voix_... _Et_ here introduces a consequence, as in: 'Plus je vous envisage, _Et_ moins je me remets, monsieur, votre visage,' Racine, _Plaideurs_, II, iv; or in 'give him an inch, _and_ he take an ell.' Cf. p. 63, IX, l. 1.

L. 20. _tu fais mes amours._ _Faire_ here is synonymous with _être_ as in '_faire_ l'admiration de tous.'

L. 28. _Te bêler mes amours._ For another instance of this transitive use of _bêler_ see p. 46, XXXIII, l. 10.

L. 32, _Plutôt que te laisser._ After _que_ following a comparative, modern visage prefers _de_ before the infinitive. See Haase, § 88.
