This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from John Dryden's work The Works of Virgil (1st edition, 1697). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. If quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

As the chapters above marked with an asterisk (*) are unpaginated, use |2= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=K3peAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP9, specify |page=9. (The tributes by Grahme, Granville, and St. John are also unpaginated, but the template can determine the webpage to link to.)

• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page or range of pages quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the chapter quoted from (for example, the pastoral or eclogue), and to link to the online version of the work.

As the dedication by Dryden to John Sheffield, 1st Duke of Buckingham and Normanby (pages 151–197) is unpaginated, specify the "page number" assigned by Google Books to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://books.google.com/books?id=K3peAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA151, specify |page=151.

• |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted. If quoting a range of lines, separate the first and last line numbers of the range with an en dash.
• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
