SCENE IX.

Pan solus.
Pan.
Surprising Change!
Must I the Charmer lose?
Ah! cruel Fate, thus to oppose my Love!
Soft Murmurs issue from the wond'rous Reeds;
The plaintive Sounds
Seem to condemn the Rashness of my Flame.
15

O never cease, and Pan with you will join
Lost Syrinx to lament!
Yet shall her Mem'ry live; and these fair Reeds
To future Times transmit her Name and Praise.
O never cease, and Pan with you will join
Lost Syrinx to lament!
But see—the Goddess comes;
How shall I her Resentments meet?
