1.441. Hunc deus arquitenens, et numquam talibus armis 1.442. ante nisi in dammis capreisque fugacibus usus, 1.443. mille gravem telis exhausta paene pharetra 1.444. perdidit effuso per vulnera nigra veneno. 1.445. Neve operis famam posset delere vetustas, 1.446. instituit sacros celebri certamine ludos, 1.447. Pythia perdomitae serpentis nomine dictos. 1.448. Hic iuvenum quicumque manu pedibusve rotave 1.449. vicerat, aesculeae capiebat frondis honorem: 1.450. nondum laurus erat, longoque decentia crine 1.451. tempora cingebat de qualibet arbore Phoebus. 1.452. Primus amor Phoebi Daphne Peneia, quem non 1.453. fors ignara dedit, sed saeva Cupidinis ira. 1.454. Delius hunc, nuper victa serpente superbus, 1.455. viderat adducto flectentem cornua nervo 1.456. “quid” que “tibi, lascive puer, cum fortibus armis?” 1.457. dixerat, “ista decent umeros gestamina nostros, 1.458. qui dare certa ferae, dare vulnera possumus hosti, 1.460. stravimus innumeris tumidum Pythona sagittis. 1.461. Tu face nescio quos esto contentus amores 1.462. inritare tua, nec laudes adsere nostras.” 1.463. Filius huic Veneris “figat tuus omnia, Phoebe, 1.464. te meus arcus:” ait “quantoque animalia cedunt 1.465. cuncta deo tanto minor est tua gloria nostra.” 1.466. Dixit et eliso percussis aere pennis 1.467. inpiger umbrosa Parnasi constitit arce 1.468. eque sagittifera prompsit duo tela pharetra 1.469. diversorum operum: fugat hoc, facit illud amorem. 1.470. Quod facit, auratum est et cuspide fulget acuta; 1.471. quod fugat, obtusum est et habet sub harundine plumbum. 1.472. Hoc deus in nympha Peneide fixit, at illo 1.473. laesit Apollineas traiecta per ossa medullas. 1.474. Protinus alter amat, fugit altera nomen amantis 1.475. silvarum tenebris captivarumque ferarum 1.476. exuviis gaudens innuptaeque aemula Phoebes. 1.477. Vitta coercebat positos sine lege capillos. 1.478. Multi illam petiere, illa aversata petentes 1.479. inpatiens expersque viri nemora avia lustrat,
1.481. Saepe pater dixit “generum mihi, filia, debes,” 1.482. saepe pater dixit “debes mihi nata, nepotes:” 1.483. illa, velut crimen taedas exosa iugales, 1.484. pulchra verecundo suffunditur ora rubore, 1.485. inque patris blandis haerens cervice lacertis 1.486. “da mihi perpetua, genitor carissime,” dixit 1.487. “virginitate frui: dedit hoc pater ante Dianae.” 1.488. Ille quidem obsequitur, sed te decor iste quod optas 1.489. esse vetat. Votoque tuo tua forma repugnat: 1.490. Phoebus amat visaeque cupit conubia Daphnes, 1.491. quodque cupit, sperat, suaque illum oracula fallunt. 1.492. Utque leves stipulae demptis adolentur aristis, 1.493. ut facibus saepes ardent, quas forte viator 1.494. vel nimis admovit vel iam sub luce reliquit, 1.495. sic deus in flammas abiit, sic pectore toto 1.497. Spectat inornatos collo pendere capillos 1.498. et “quid, si comantur?” ait. Videt igne micantes 1.499. sideribus similes oculos, videt oscula, quae non 1.500. est vidisse satis; laudat digitosque manusque 1.501. bracchiaque et nudos media plus parte lacertos. 1.502. Siqua latent, meliora putat. Fugit ocior aura 1.503. illa levi neque ad haec revocantis verba resistit: 1.504. “Nympha, precor, Penei, mane! Non insequor hostis: 1.505. nympha, mane! sic agna lupum, sic cerva leonem, 1.506. sic aquilam penna fugiunt trepidante columbae, 1.507. hostes quaeque suos: amor est mihi causa sequendi. 1.508. Me miserum! ne prona cadas indignave laedi 1.509. crura notent sentes et sim tibi causa doloris. 1.510. Aspera, qua properas, loca sunt. Moderatius, oro, 1.511. curre fugamque inhibe; moderatius insequar ipse. 1.512. Cui placeas, inquire tamen. Non incola montis, 1.514. horridus observo. Nescis, temeraria, nescis 1.515. quem fugias, ideoque fugis. Mihi Delphica tellus 1.516. et Claros et Tenedos Patareaque regia servit, 1.517. Iuppiter est genitor; per me quod eritque fuitque 1.518. estque patet; per me concordant carmina nervis. 1.519. Certa quidem nostra est, nostra tamen una sagitta 1.520. certior, in vacuo quae vulnera pectore fecit. 1.521. Inventum medicina meum est, opiferque per orbem 1.522. dicor, et herbarum subiecta potentia nobis: 1.523. ei mihi, quod nullis amor est sanabilis herbis 1.524. nec prosunt domino, quae prosunt omnibus, artes.” 1.525. Plura locuturum timido Peneia cursu 1.526. fugit cumque ipso verba inperfecta reliquit, 1.527. tum quoque visa decens. Nudabant corpora venti, 1.528. obviaque adversas vibrabant flamina vestes, 1.529. et levis inpulsos retro dabat aura capillos, 1.530. auctaque forma fuga est. Sed enim non sustinet ultra 1.531. perdere blanditias iuvenis deus, utque monebat 1.532. ipse Amor, admisso sequitur vestigia passu. 1.533. Ut canis in vacuo leporem cum Gallicus arvo 1.534. vidit, et hic praedam pedibus petit, ille salutem: 1.535. alter inhaesuro similis iam iamque tenere 1.536. sperat et extento stringit vestigia rostro, 1.537. alter in ambiguo est, an sit conprensus, et ipsis 1.538. morsibus eripitur tangentiaque ora relinquit: 1.539. sic deus et virgo est hic spe celer, illa timore. 1.540. Qui tamen insequitur pennis adiutus Amoris, 1.541. ocior est requiemque negat tergoque fugacis 1.542. inminet et crinem sparsum cervicibus adflat. 1.543. Viribus absumptis expalluit illa citaeque 1.544. victa labore fugae spectans Peneidas undas 1.545. “fer pater” inquit “opem si flumina numen habetis. vulg. 1.546. qua nimium placui, tellus aut hisce vel istam, 1.547. quae facit ut laedar, mutando perde figuram. 1.547. Qua nimium placui, mutando perde figuram!” 1.548. Vix prece finita torpor gravis occupat artus: 1.549. mollia cinguntur tenui praecordia libro, 1.550. in frondem crines, in ramos bracchia crescunt, 1.551. pes modo tam velox pigris radicibus haeret, 1.552. ora cacumen habet; remanet nitor unus in illa.
1.554. sentit adhuc trepidare novo sub cortice pectus 1.555. conplexusque suis ramos, ut membra, lacertis 1.556. oscula dat ligno: refugit tamen oscula lignum. 1.557. Cui deus “at quoniam coniunx mea non potes esse, 1.558. arbor eris certe” dixit “mea. Semper habebunt 1.559. te coma, te citharae, te nostrae, laure, pharetrae: 1.560. tu ducibus Latiis aderis, cum laeta triumphum 1.561. vox canet et visent longas Capitolia pompas: 1.562. postibus Augustis eadem fidissima custos 1.563. ante fores stabis mediamque tuebere quercum, 1.564. utque meum intonsis caput est iuvenale capillis, 1.565. tu quoque perpetuos semper gere frondis honores.” 1.566.

None | 1.441. in purple shells.—He bade the Triton blow, 1.442. blow in his sounding shell, the wandering stream 1.443. and rivers to recall with signal known: 1.444. a hollow wreathed trumpet, tapering wide 1.445. and slender stemmed, the Triton took amain 1.446. and wound the pearly shell at midmost sea. 1.447. Betwixt the rising and the setting sun 1.448. the wildered notes resounded shore to shore, 1.449. and as it touched his lips, wet with the brine 1.450. beneath his dripping beard, sounded retreat: 1.451. and all the waters of the land and sea 1.452. obeyed. Their fountains heard and ceased to flow; 1.453. their waves subsided; hidden hills uprose; 1.454. emerged the shores of ocean; channels filled 1.455. with flowing streams; the soil appeared; the land 1.456. increased its surface as the waves decreased: 1.457. and after length of days the trees put forth, 1.458. with ooze on bending boughs, their naked tops. 1.460. but as he viewed the vast and silent world 1.461. Deucalion wept and thus to Pyrrha spoke; 1.462. “O sister! wife! alone of woman left! 1.463. My kindred in descent and origin! 1.464. Dearest companion of my marriage bed, 1.465. doubly endeared by deepening dangers borne,— 1.466. of all the dawn and eve behold of earth, 1.467. but you and I are left—for the deep sea 1.468. has kept the rest! And what prevents the tide 1.469. from overwhelming us? Remaining cloud 1.470. affright us. How could you endure your fear 1.471. if you alone were rescued by this fate, 1.472. and who would then console your bitter grief? 1.473. Oh be assured, if you were buried in the waves, 1.474. that I would follow you and be with you!' "1.475. Oh would that by my father's art I might" '1.476. restore the people, and inspire this clay 1.477. to take the form of man. Alas, the God 1.478. decreed and only we are living!”, Thu' "1.479. Deucalion's plaint to Pyrrha ;—and they wept." '
1.481. to ask the aid of sacred oracles,— 1.482. and so they hastened to Cephissian wave 1.483. which rolled a turbid flood in channels known. 1.484. Thence when their robes and brows were sprinkled well,' "1.485. they turned their footsteps to the goddess' fane:" '1.486. its gables were befouled with reeking mo 1.487. and on its altars every fire was cold. 1.488. But when the twain had reached the temple step 1.489. they fell upon the earth, inspired with awe, 1.490. and kissed the cold stone with their trembling lips, 1.491. and said; “If righteous prayers appease the Gods, 1.492. and if the wrath of high celestial power 1.493. may thus be turned, declare, O Themis! whence 1.494. and what the art may raise humanity? 1.495. O gentle goddess help the dying world!” 1.497. “Depart from me and veil your brows; ungird 1.498. your robes, and cast behind you as you go, 1.499. the bones of your great mother.” Long they stood 1.500. in dumb amazement: Pyrrha , first of voice, 1.501. refused the mandate and with trembling lip 1.502. implored the goddess to forgive—she feared' "1.503. to violate her mother's bones and vex" '1.504. her sacred spirit. often pondered they 1.505. the words involved in such obscurity, 1.506. repeating oft: and thus Deucalion' "1.507. to Epimetheus' daughter uttered speech" '1.508. of soothing import; “ Oracles are just 1.509. and urge not evil deeds, or naught avail 1.510. the skill of thought. Our mother is the Earth, 1.511. and I may judge the stones of earth are bone 1.512. that we should cast behind us as we go.” 1.514. he hesitated to comply; and both amazed 1.515. doubted the purpose of the oracle, 1.516. but deemed no harm to come of trial. They, 1.517. descending from the temple, veiled their head 1.518. and loosed their robes and threw some stone 1.519. behind them. It is much beyond belief, 1.520. were not receding ages witness, hard 1.521. and rigid stones assumed a softer form, 1.522. enlarging as their brittle nature changed 1.523. to milder substance,—till the shape of man 1.524. appeared, imperfect, faintly outlined first, 1.525. as marble statue chiseled in the rough. 1.526. The soft moist parts were changed to softer flesh, 1.527. the hard and brittle substance into bones, 1.528. the veins retained their ancient name. And now 1.529. the Gods supreme ordained that every stone 1.530. Deucalion threw should take the form of man,' "1.531. and those by Pyrrha cast should woman's form" '1.532. assume: so are we hardy to endure 1.533. and prove by toil and deeds from what we sprung. 1.534. And after this the Earth spontaneou 1.535. produced the world of animals, when all 1.536. remaining moistures of the mirey fen 1.537. fermented in the sun, and fruitful seed 1.538. in soils nutritious grew to shapes ordained. 1.539. So when the seven streamed Nile from oozy field 1.540. returneth duly to her ancient bed,' "1.541. the sun's ethereal rays impregn the slime," '1.542. that haply as the peasants turn the soil 1.543. they find strange animals unknown before: 1.544. ome in the moment of their birth, and some 1.545. deprived of limbs, imperfect; often part 1.546. alive and part of slime iimate 1.547. are fashioned in one body. Heat combined 1.548. with moisture so conceives and life result 1.549. from these two things.
