Pan, Echo, and the Satyr

2Pan loved his neighbour Echo — but that child

3Of Earth and Air pined for the Satyr leaping;

4The Satyr loved with wasting madness wild

5The bright nymph Lyda, — and so three went weeping.

6As Pan loved Echo, Echo loved the Satyr,

7The Satyr, Lyda; and so love consumed them. —

8And thus to each — which was a woful matter —

9To bear what they inflicted Justice doomed them;

10For, inasmuch as each might hate the lover,

11Each, loving, so was hated. — Ye that love not

12Be warned — in thought turn this example over,

13That when ye love, the like return ye prove not.
