MELIBOEUS CORYDON THYRSIS	A
	-
Daphnis beneath a rustling ilex tree	B
Had sat him down Thyrsis and Corydon	C
Had gathered in the flock Thyrsis the sheep	D
And Corydon the she goats swollen with milk	E
Both in the flower of age Arcadians both	F
Ready to sing and in like strain reply	G
Hither had strayed while from the frost I fend	H
My tender myrtles the he goat himself	I
Lord of the flock when Daphnis I espy	B
Soon as he saw me 'Hither haste ' he cried	J
'O Meliboeus goat and kids are safe	K
And if you have an idle hour to spare	L
Rest here beneath the shade Hither the steers	A
Will through the meadows of their own free will	M
Untended come to drink Here Mincius hath	N
With tender rushes rimmed his verdant banks	A
And from yon sacred oak with busy hum	O
The bees are swarming ' What was I to do	P
No Phyllis or Alcippe left at home	Q
Had I to shelter my new weaned lambs	A
And no slight matter was a singing bout	R
'Twixt Corydon and Thyrsis Howsoe'er	L
I let my business wait upon their sport	S
So they began to sing voice answering voice	A
In strains alternate for alternate strains	A
The Muses then were minded to recall	T
First Corydon then Thyrsis in reply	G
	-
Corydon	C
'Libethrian Nymphs who are my heart's delight	U
Grant me as doth my Codrus so to sing	V
Next to Apollo he or if to this	A
We may not all attain my tuneful pipe	W
Here on this sacred pine shall silent hang '	-
	-
Thyrsis	A
'Arcadian shepherds wreathe with ivy spray	L
Your budding poet so that Codrus burst	X
With envy if he praise beyond my due	P
Then bind my brow with foxglove lest his tongue	Y
With evil omen blight the coming bard '	-
	-
Corydon	C
'This bristling boar's head Delian Maid to thee	B
With branching antlers of a sprightly stag	Z
Young Micon offers if his luck but hold	A2
Full length in polished marble ankle bound	B2
With purple buskin shall thy statue stand '	-
	-
Thyrsis	A
'A bowl of milk Priapus and these cakes	A
Yearly it is enough for thee to claim	C2
Thou art the guardian of a poor man's plot	D2
Wrought for a while in marble if the flock	E2
At lambing time be filled stand there in gold '	-
	-
Corydon	C
'Daughter of Nereus Galatea mine	C
Sweeter than Hybla thyme more white than swans	A
Fairer than ivy pale soon as the steers	A
Shall from their pasture to the stalls repair	L
If aught for Corydon thou carest come '	-
	-
Thyrsis	A
'Now may I seem more bitter to your taste	F2
Than herb Sardinian rougher than the broom	G2
More worthless than strewn sea weed if to day	L
Hath not a year out lasted Fie for shame	C2
Go home my cattle from your grazing go '	-
	-
Corydon	C
'Ye mossy springs and grass more soft than sleep	D
And arbute green with thin shade sheltering you	P
Ward off the solstice from my flock for now	C
Comes on the burning summer now the buds	A
Upon the limber vine shoot 'gin to swell '	-
	-
Thyrsis	A
'Here is a hearth and resinous logs here fire	L
Unstinted and doors black with ceaseless smoke	H2
Here heed we Boreas' icy breath as much	I2
As the wolf heeds the number of the flock	E2
Or furious rivers their restraining banks '	-
	-
Corydon	C
'The junipers and prickly chestnuts stand	J2
And 'neath each tree lie strewn their several fruits	A
Now the whole world is smiling but if fair	L
Alexis from these hill slopes should away	L
Even the rivers you would see run dry '	-
	-
Thyrsis	A
'The field is parched the grass blades thirst to death	K2
In the faint air Liber hath grudged the hills	A
His vine's o'er shadowing should my Phyllis come	O
Green will be all the grove and Jupiter	L
Descend in floods of fertilizing rain '	-
	-
Corydon	C
'The poplar doth Alcides hold most dear	L
The vine Iacchus Phoebus his own bays	A
And Venus fair the myrtle therewithal	G
Phyllis doth hazels love and while she loves	A
Myrtle nor bay the hazel shall out vie '	-
	-
Thyrsis	A
'Ash in the forest is most beautiful	G
Pine in the garden poplar by the stream	L2
Fir on the mountain height but if more oft	M2
Thou'ldst come to me fair Lycidas to thee	B
Both forest ash and garden pine should bow '	-
	-
Meliboeus	A
These I remember and how Thyrsis strove	N2
For victory in vain From that time forth	O2
Is Corydon still Corydon with us	A
