Description

Excerpt from The Jolly Beggars: A Cantata

Contrast The Gentle Shepherd with The jolly Beg gars the one is a court pastoral, like a minuet of the ladies of Versailles on the sward of the Swiss village near the Trianon, the other is like the march of the Moenads with Theroigne de Mericourt. Over all this masterpiece is poured a ?ood of liquid harmony in the acme of the two-edged satire, aimed alike at laws and law-breakers, the graceless crew are raised above the level of gipsies, footpads, and rogues, and made, like Titans, to launch their thunders of rebel lion against the world.
