"They are eclogues in the mock-classical style, presenting shepherds and milkmaids, not of the golden age, but of the poet's own day, in their grotesque reality. They were designed to parody those of Ambrose ('Namby-Pamby') Philips, but they have survived on their own merits, for their drollery and humour."--Oxford companion to English literature.
