Pan, Echo, and the Satyr
Percy Bysshe Shelley
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.
