Transcript PĀN ET SYRINGA

PĀN ET SYRINGA
Ōlim erat nympha pulchra. Nōmen
nymphae erat Syringa
Syringa in Arcadiā habitābat.
Deī et satyrī Syringam amābant
Syringa nymphās cēterās et
Dīānam amābat
Deus Pān Syringam videt et statim
amat. Dīxit: `Aeternum tē amābō’
Syringa autem dīxit: `Aeternum
nympha Dīānae erō’
Per silvās fugitat dōnec rīpam
undārum spectat
Nymphae eam in papyrōs mūtant.
Pān fistulam fōrmat, et fistulae
nōmen Syringam dat.
