Haec loca capripedes satyros nymphasque tenere finitimi fingunt, et faunos esse loquuntur, quorum noctivago strepitu ludoque iocanti adfirmant volgo taciturna silentia rumpi, chordarumque sonos fieri dulcisque querellas, tibia quas fundit digitis pulsata canentum, et genus agricolum late sentiscere, quom Pan, pinea semiferi capitis velamina quassans, unco saepe labro calamos percurrit hiantis, fistula silvestrem ne cesset fundere musam.
Such places the neighbours imagine to be haunted by goatfoot satyrs and nymphs, and they say there are fauns, by whose night-wandering noise and jocund play they commonly declare the voiceless silence to be broken, with the sound of strings and sweet plaintive notes, which the pipe sends forth touched by the players fingers; they tell how the farmers men all over the countryside listen, while Pan, shaking the pine leaves that cover his half-human head, often runs over the open reeds with curved lips, that the panpipes may never slacken in their flood of woodland music.
