Francis Fawkes, English divine, poet and translator. The dedication of this translation to Charles Yorke is dated from Orpington, where Fawkes was the vicar, January 10, 1767. In the Preface, Fawkes gives an account of the editions of Theocritus, and acknowledges the help of a number of friends, among whom “the celebrated Mr. Samuel Johnson has corrected part of this work, and furnished me with some judicious remarks. In a short conversation with the ingenious Mr. Joseph Warton, I gathered several observations, particularly in regard to the superiority of Theocritus to Virgil in Pastoral, which are interspersed amongst the notes . . .”
