Pan, Echo, And The Satyr. From The Greek Of Moschus.
Pan loved his neighbour Echo - but that child Of Earth and Air pined for the Satyr leaping; The Satyr loved with wasting madness wild The bright nymph Lyda, and so three went weeping. As Pan loved Echo, Echo loved the Satyr, The Satyr, Lyda; and so love consumed them. - And thus to each - which was a woeful matter - To bear what they inflicted Justice doomed them; For, inasmuch as each might hate the lover, Each, loving, so was hated. - Ye that love not Be warned - in thought turn this example over, That when ye love, the like return ye prove not.
