Percy Bysshe Shelley - Pan, Echo, and The Satyr lyrics

FROM THE GREEK OF MOSCHUS [Published (without title) by Mrs. Shelley, "Posthumous Poems", 1824. There is a draft amongst the Hunt man*scripts.] 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.
