[ Given, with an ut dicitur, to Metastasio in the appendix to the 

 edition of Walton edited by Sir John Hawkins in 1784. It begins : 

 "Candida vitae 

 Gaudia nescit, 

 Ah miser, ille, 

 Qui requievit 

 Littore nunquam 

 Mollis arenas, etc." 



Sir John adds : " This eclogue, which, on account of its excellence, 

 is here inserted, was communicated by a learned friend to the editor 

 of this work ; but it does not occur in any of the editions of Metas- 

 tasio's works." It was apparently written for music.]
