Once upon a time when mythic creatures thrived
My land was pure, the forests primeval still
And pagan reels would stir the crooked boughs
Surrendering them to the whims of the whispering windââ¬Â¦
There flowers sprung beneath the cloven hoofs
Of an elder being-far more ancient than the Olympians themselvesââ¬Â¦
The ancient trees know him by the nameââ¬âPan, what lust runs through thy veins!
The Dryads alone yet sing his fameââ¬âPan, thy music the Gods entertains!
Ten score Satyr squires
With nymphs sought delightââ¬Â¦thy flute is divine
O Pan, our music inspire!
Teach us thine art
The tunes that would win
The hearts of a nymph!
The ancient trees know him by the nameââ¬âPan, what lust runs through thy veins!
The Dryads alone yet sing his fameââ¬âPan, thy music the Gods entertains!
Pan, great god
Spread panic in our enemyââ¬â¢s ranks!
We invoke thy name
In moonlit glades-grant us the gift
Of arcane prophecyââ¬Â¦
The ancient trees know him by the nameââ¬âPan, what lust runs through thy veins!
The Dryads alone yet sing his fameââ¬âPan, thy music the Gods entertains!
(Orphic hymn to Pan excerpt:) ââ¬ÅI invoke the brawny Pan, the sky and the seaââ¬âI invoke earth, the sovereign queen and immortal fireââ¬Â¦
O friend of Echo, thou who dances with the nymphs, thou who knowest everything, bearer of light, the true horned Zeusââ¬Â¦Ã¢â¬Â
I can hear the rivers lamenting and the willows weepââ¬Â¦
Pan, our forests doth miss youââ¬Â¦
For now a loathsome Christ has dubbed you Satan
And cast thee in exileââ¬Â¦
But your shrines are not forgottenââ¬âthere are those who still utter thy name
To restore thy glory and behold thee, Horned god, enthroned once more!
(Orphic hymn to Pan excerpt continued:) ââ¬ÅThou who changes the nature of every thing with thy predictions and guides the race of men upon this vast earthââ¬Â¦
But come o blessed one, thou courtier of Bacchus, come o inciting one, come to our holiest of sacrifices and grant us a good lifeââ¬â¢s ending by dispersing the frenzy of panic unto the four corners of the earthââ¬Â¦Ã¢â¬Â
