Note 77 — Chapter X · THE LYRIC POETS.
Reading edition
Bergk (Poetæ Lyrici Græci, 3 vols., Leipsic, 1866) gives an old Greek Linus-song on p. 1297:
O Linus, thee the gods did grace; For unto thee they gave, most dear, First among men the song to raise With shrill voice sounding high and clear; And Phœbus thee in anger slays, And Muses mourn around thy bier.
