 In the same year that Anstey ( and his friend William Hayward Roberts ) were working on their Elegia <unk> in <unk> Rustico , Latine <unk> ( 1762 ) , another Latin version was published by Robert Lloyd with the title Carmen <unk> . Both were subsequently included in Irish collections of Gray ’ s poems , accompanied not only by John Duncombe ’ s “ Evening Contemplation ” , as noted earlier , but in the 1775 Dublin edition by translations from Italian sources as well . These included another Latin translation by Giovanni Costa and two into Italian by Abbate <unk> and Giuseppe <unk> . The pattern of including translations and imitations together continued into the 19th century with an 1806 bilingual edition in which a translation into French verse , signed simply L.D. , appeared facing the English original page by page . However , the bulk of the book was made up of four English parodies . Duncombe ’ s “ Evening contemplation ” was preceded by a parody of itself , “ Nocturnal contemplations in Barham Down ’ s Camp ” , which is filled , like Duncombe ’ s poem , with drunken <unk> disturbing the silence . Also included were Jerningham ’ s “ The Nunnery ” and <unk> ’ s “ Nightly thoughts in the Temple ” , the latter set in the gated lawyer ’ s quarter in London .
