from the Song of Thyrsis, #1 of Theocritus

How sweetly this susurrous pine sings, Goatboy,

this trickling trickle from the springs also sings.

and I'm sussing that pretty tune you're piping.



I'm working on a translation of the full #1 of Theocritus on my blog at http://oratiosoluta.blogspot.com/ where I put some long-term writing projects.
