lyrics

Φησὶν δὲ ὁ μῦθος καὶ ἄνθρωπόν τινα Μυῖαν τὸ ἀρχαῖον γενέσθαι πάνυ καλήν, λάλον μέντοι γε καὶ στωμύλον καὶ ᾠδικήν, καὶ ἀντερασθῆναί γε τῇ Σελήνῃ κατὰ τὸ αὐτὸ ἀμφοτέρας τοῦ Ἐνδυμίωνος. εἶτ' ἐπειδὴ κοιμώμενον τὸ μειράκιον συνεχὲς ἐπήγειρεν ἐρεσχηλοῦσα καὶ ᾄδουσα καὶ κωμάζουσα ἐπ' αὐτόν, τὸν μὲν ἀγανακτῆσαι, τὴν δὲ Σελήνην ὀργισθεῖσαν εἰς τοῦτο τὴν Μυῖαν μεταβαλεῖν· καὶ διὰ τοῦτο πᾶσι νῦν τοῖς κοιμωμένοις αὐτὴν τοῦ ὕπνου φθονεῖν μεμνημένην ἔτι τοῦ Ἐνδυμίωνος, καὶ μάλιστα τοῖς νέοις καὶ ἁπαλοῖς· καὶ τὸ δῆγμα δὲ αὐτὸ καὶ ἡ τοῦ αἵματος ἐπιθυμία οὐκ ἀγριότητος, ἀλλ' ἔρωτός ἐστι σημεῖον καὶ φιλανθρωπίας· ὡς γὰρ δυνατὸν ἀπολαύει καὶ τοῦ κάλλους τι ἀπανθίζεται
