Mortalityascending emerald-bright,
A fountain at salute, a crown in view”

With short shrill Shriek flits by on leathern Wing,
Or where the Beetle winds
His small but sullen Horn,”

“Pans Syrinx was a girl indeed,
Though now shes turned into a reed;
From that dear reed Pans pipe does come,
A pipe that strikes Apollo dumb;
Nor flute, nor lute, nor gittern can
So chant it, as the pipe of Pan;”
—John Lyly (15531606)
