Lyrics: Anonymus
Music: John Ernest Galliard
(Syrinx wrests herself from Pan and flies away. The Scene represents Syrinx Transform’d into Reeds.)
PAN (solus)
Surprizing Change!
Must I the Charmer Lose?
Ah! Cruel Fate, thus to oppose my Love.
Soft murmurs rises from the wondrous Reeds;
The plaintive Sounds seem to condemn
The Rashness of my Flame.
O never cease
And Pan with you will join
Lost Syrinx to Lament.
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.
