FROM THE GREEK OF BION	A
	-
	-
I mourn Adonis dead loveliest Adonis	B
Dead dead Adonis and the Loves lament	C
Sleep no more Venus wrapped in purple woof	D
Wake violet stoled queen and weave the crown	A
Of Death 'tis Misery calls for he is dead	E
	-
The lovely one lies wounded in the mountains	F
His white thigh struck with the white tooth he scarce	G
Yet breathes and Venus hangs in agony there	H
The dark blood wanders o'er his snowy limbs	I
His eyes beneath their lids are lustreless	I
The rose has fled from his wan lips and there	H
That kiss is dead which Venus gathers yet	J
	-
A deep deep wound Adonis	I
A deeper Venus bears upon her heart	K
See his beloved dogs are gathering round	L
The Oread nymphs are weeping Aphrodite	M
With hair unbound is wandering through the woods	I
'Wildered ungirt unsandalled the thorns pierce	I
Her hastening feet and drink her sacred blood	N
Bitterly screaming out she is driven on	A
Through the long vales and her Assyrian boy	O
Her love her husband calls the purple blood	N
From his struck thigh stains her white navel now	A
Her bosom and her neck before like snow	A
	-
Alas for Cytherea the Loves mourn	A
The lovely the beloved is gone and now	A
Her sacred beauty vanishes away	P
For Venus whilst Adonis lived was fair	H
Alas her loveliness is dead with him	Q
The oaks and mountains cry Ai ai Adonis	I
The springs their waters change to tears and weep	R
The flowers are withered up with grief	S
	-
Ai ai Adonis is dead	E
Echo resounds Adonis dead	E
Who will weep not thy dreadful woe O Venus	I
Soon as she saw and knew the mortal wound	L
Of her Adonis saw the life blood flow	A
From his fair thigh now wasting wailing loud	T
She clasped him and cried 'Stay Adonis	I
Stay dearest one	A
and mix my lips with thine	A
Wake yet a while Adonis oh but once	I
That I may kiss thee now for the last time	U
But for as long as one short kiss may live	V
Oh let thy breath flow from thy dying soul	W
Even to my mouth and heart that I may suck	X
That '	-
