Eclogue 2 (Ecloga II; Bucolica II) is a pastoral poem by the Latin poet Virgil, one of a series of ten poems known as the Eclogues. In this Eclogue the herdsman Corydon laments his inability to win the affections of the young Alexis.[1] It is an imitation of the eleventh Idyll of Theocritus, in which the Cyclops Polyphemus laments the cruelty of the sea-nymph Galatea.[1] After a 5-line introduction, the rest of the poem consists of a single speech by Corydon. The poem has 73 lines, and is written in the dactylic hexameter metre.
Eclogues 2 and 3 are thought to be the earliest of Virgil's Eclogues to be written,[2] and so the poem dates to about 42 BC.[3]
