This paper is a study concerning the eclogues of Francisco Rodrigues Lobo (1580-1622), focusing on his preambular Discourse on the life and style of shepherds, which affirms the basis, historical background and aim of the genre: preaching of honest truths, praise of virtues and customs, disillusionment and complaints about the reputed lack of idoneity in city habits. The paper then presents a brief analysis of the ten eclogues, focusing on the terms relating to the bucolic and pastoral genres.
