| A satyr spied a Goddess in her bath | B |
| Unseen of her attendant nymphs none knew | C |
| Forthwith the creature to his fellows drew | C |
| And looking backward on the curtained path | B |
| He strove to tell he could but heave a breast | D |
| Too full and point to mouth with failing leers | E |
| Vainly he danced for speech he giggled tears | E |
| Made as if torn in two as if tight pressed | D |
| As if cast prone then fetching whimpered tunes | E |
| For words flung heel and set his hairy flight | F |
| Through forest hollows over rocky height | F |
| The green leaves buried him three rounds of moons | E |
| A senatorial Satyr named what herb | G |
| Had hurried him outrunning reason's curb | G |

| 'Tis told how when that hieaway unchecked | H |
| To dell returned he seemed of tempered mood | I |
| Even as the valley of the torrent rude | I |
| The torrent now a brook the valley wrecked | H |
| In him to hale him high or hurl aheap | J |
| Goddess and Goatfoot hourly wrestled sore | K |
| Hourly the immortal prevailing more | K |
| Till one hot noon saw Meliboeus peep | J |
| From thicket sprays to where his full blown dame | L |
| In circle by the lusty friskers gripped | M |
| Laughed the showered rose leaves while her limbs were stripped | M |
| She beckoned to our Satyr and he came | L |
| Then twirled she mounds of ripeness wreath of arms | E |
| His hoof kicked up the clothing for such charms | E |
