In Scotland Allan Ramsay brought the novelty of Scots dialect to his two pastoral dialogues of 1723, "Patie and Roger" and "Jenny and Meggy", before expanding them into the pastoral drama of "The Gentle Shepherd" in the following year. Later the eclogue was further renewed by being set in exotic lands, first by the "Persian Eclogues" (1742) of William Collins, a revised version of which titled "Oriental Eclogues" was published in 1757. It was followed by the three "African Eclogues" (1770) of Thomas Chatterton, and by Scott of Amwell's three "Oriental Eclogues" (1782) with settings in Arabia, Bengal and Tang dynasty China.
