Tossup

A “New” group named for this place that expelled the satirical poet Bocage (“boo-KAHJ”) was one of many literary clubs that sought to uproot Gongorism in Portugal. Byron borrowed a line modifying this place with the Latin adjective “ambo” to describe like-minded friends. (10[1])This place names a neoclassical “Academy” in Rome that included Pietro Metastasio. The Neapolitan poet Sincero falls into gloom (10[1])upon realizing that he dreamed up this place in a romance by Jacopo (10[1])Sannazaro. (10[1])This prototypical (10[1])locus amoenus (10[1]-5[1])(“uh-MEE-nuss”) is where the elegiac poet Cornelius Gallus dies after saying (10[1])the lines, “Love conquers all; let us too yield to Love” in the tenth and final of a set of Latin poems. Duke Basilius rules this realm (10[2])in a romance edited by the poet’s sister, (10[1])Countess of (10[1])Pembroke. (10[4])For 10 points, (10[4])Virgil’s Eclogues (“ECK-logs”) depict the many shepherds of (10[1])what (10[1])Grecian pastoral realm? ■END■ (10[1])
