He wrote political letters, eclogues, lyrics, operas and satires, both in prose and verse. Juan del Encina wrote in Castillian with Leonese language influences in his pastoral eclogues. Here Encina wrote pastoral eclogues, the foundation of Spanish secular drama. Later Roman poets who wrote eclogues include Calpurnius and Nemesianus. However, Spenser's models were rather the Renaissance eclogues of Mantuanus. Kuriakose Chavara wrote the 10 eclogues or liturgical dramas decades before. She wrote six Town Eclogues and other poems.

The 63-line poem (the shortest of the "Eclogues") begins with an address to the Muses. It contains the "Aeneid", the "Georgics", and some of the "Eclogues". The Roman poet Virgil adapted pastoral into Latin with his highly influential "Eclogues". "The Shepheardes Calender" is a poem that consists of twelve eclogues.
