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 woful 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.
