and he seemed to be shedding fond human tears

and even his hands were moved in gestures that Ceyx often used.
btv1b52514166k_f106
I ngemit altione. lacͥmãs mou& atq lac̾tos
Halcyone shed tears and groaned aloud, and, as she moved her arms
btv1b52514166k_f106

and caught at his dear body, she embraced the vacant air
btv1b52514166k_f106
Exclamatq mane. qͦ te rapis : ibimꝰ unâ.
she cried out loudly, "Stay, oh stay with me! Why do you hurry from me? We will go together!"
btv1b52514166k_f106
Uoce sua specieq uiri t᷑bata soporẽ
Agitated by her own excited voice; and by what seemed to be her own dear husband,

she awoke from sleep.
btv1b52514166k_f106
Excitat. & pͥmo si sit circ̃spic̃ ille
And first looked all about her to persuade herself that he... must yet be with her,
btv1b52514166k_f106
Ꝙ mͦ uisꝰ erat. nã moti uoce ministri
whom she had lately seen... for she had aroused the servants

who in haste brought lights desired. When she could find him nowhere,
btv1b52514166k_f106
ꝑcutit ora manu. laniatq a pectore uestes.
in despair she struck her face and tore her garment from her breast
btv1b52514166k_f106
Pectoraq ipsa ferit. nec cͥnes solu̾e curat.
and beat her breast with mourning hands. She did not wait to loosen her long hair;
btv1b52514166k_f106
Scind̃. & altͥci luctꝰ ̧q̃ causa roganti.
but tore it with her hands and to her nurse, who asked the cause of her wild grief, she cried:
btv1b52514166k_f106
Nulla ÷ altione nulla ÷ ait. occid̃ una
"Alas, Halcyone is no more! no more! with her own Ceyx she is dead! is dead!

Away with words of comfort,

he is lost by shipwreck! I have seen him, and I knew him surely...

and when desirous to detain him, I stretched forth my arms to him,
btv1b52514166k_f106

his ghost left me it vanished from me; but it surely was the ghost of my dead husband.

If you ask description of it... he did not have
btv1b52514166k_f106

his well known features he was not so cheerful as he was in life!
btv1b52514166k_f106

Alas, I saw him pale and naked, with his hair still dripping
btv1b52514166k_f106

his ghost from the waves stood on this very spot:"
btv1b52514166k_f106
Ecce loco. & ̧q̃rit uestigia siqͣ suꝑsint.
and while she moaned she sought his footprints on the floor.
btv1b52514166k_f106

"Alas, this was my fear, and this is what my mind shuddered to think of,
btv1b52514166k_f106

But how I wish, since you were sailing forth to perish,
btv1b52514166k_f106

that you had but taken me with you. If I had gone with you, it would have been advantage to me,

and you would not have met a separate death.
btv1b52514166k_f106

I linger here but I have met my death, I toss on waves, and drift upon the sea.

"My heart would be more cruel than the waves,
btv1b52514166k_f106
Sit mͥ mens pelago. si uitã duc̾e nitar
if it should ask me to endure this life— if I should struggle to survive such grief.

If your bones are not united with my bones, 'tis sure our names must be united.”
btv1b52514166k_f106
Plura dolor ꝓhib&. u̾boq int̾ueñ om̃i
Overcome with grief, she could not say another word—
btv1b52514166k_f106
Plangor. & attonito gemitꝰ a corde tͣhunt᷑.
but she continued wailing, and her groans were heaved up from her sorrow-stricken breast.
btv1b52514166k_f106
Mane erat. eg̾dit᷑ tectis ad litꝰ. & illũ
At early dawn, she went from her abode down to the seashore,
btv1b52514166k_f106
Mesta loc̃ repetit. de qͦ spectarat euntẽ.
where most wretchedly, she stood upon the spot from which he sailed,
btv1b52514166k_f106
Dũq morat᷑ ibi. dũq hinc retinacła soluit.
and sadly said; "He lingered here while he was loosening the cables,
btv1b52514166k_f106
ħ mͥ discedens ded̃ oscła littore dicit.
and he kissed me on this seashore when he left me here.”
btv1b52514166k_f106
Dũq notata ocłis reminiscit᷑ acta : fretũq
And while she called to recollection all that she had seen when standing there, and while she looked far out on flowing waves from there,
btv1b52514166k_f106
ꝓspic̃. in liꝗda spatio distante tuet᷑
she noticed floating on the distant sea— what shall I say?
btv1b52514166k_f106
Nescio qͥd̃ qͣsi corpꝰ aqͣ. pͥmoq ꝗd illd̃
At first even she could not be sure of what she saw.
btv1b52514166k_f106

But presently although still distant—
btv1b52514166k_f106
& ꝙͣ uis aberat. corpꝰ tñ esse liquebat.
it was certainly a floating corpse.
btv1b52514166k_f106
Qͥ for& ignorans qͥa naufragꝰ omine mota ÷.
She could not see what man he might be... she was moved as at an omen
btv1b52514166k_f106
& tãꝗͣ ignoto lacͥmã dar&. heu miser inꝗt
and began to weep; and, moaning as she stood there, said:— "Ah wretched one, whoever it may be,
btv1b52514166k_f106
ꝙsꝗs es. & si qͣ ÷ ꝯiũx tͥ. fluctibꝰ actũ
ah, wretched is the wife whom you have left!” As driven by the waves the body came
btv1b52514166k_f106
Fit ꝓprius corpꝰ. qd̃ qͦ magis illa tuet᷑.
still nearer to her, she was less and less the mistress of herself, the more she looked upon it;

for her to see its features,
btv1b52514166k_f106

she beheld her husband. "It is he,” she cried and then
btv1b52514166k_f106
Ora. comas. uestẽ lac̾at. tendensq trementes
she tore her face, her hair, her royal robe and then, extending both her trembling hands
btv1b52514166k_f106
Ad ceica manꝰ. sic o carissime ꝯiũx
towards Ceyx, "So dearest one!
btv1b52514166k_f106
Sic ad me miserande redis at: adiac& und̃
So do you come to me again?” She cried, "O luckless mate.” A mole,
btv1b52514166k_f106
Facta manu moles. q̧̃ pͥmas eqͦris undas
made by the craft of man, adjoins the sea
btv1b52514166k_f106
Frang̃. & incursꝰ qua p̃dã tͣxit aquarũ
and breaks the shoreward rush of waves.
btv1b52514166k_f106
Insilit huc. mir̃q fuit potuisse. uolabat.
To this she leaped—it seemed impossible— and then while beating the light air with wings that instant formed upon her, she flew on,
btv1b52514166k_f106
ꝑcutiens q leuẽ mͦ natis aera pennis.
while beating the light air with wings that instant formed upon her,
btv1b52514166k_f106
Stͥngebat sũmas ales miserabił umdas.
a mourning bird, and skimmed above the waves.
btv1b52514166k_f106
Dũq uolat mesto similẽ plenũq ̧qͣrelȩ
And while she lightly flew across the sea her clacking mouth with its long slender bill, full of complaining,
btv1b52514166k_f106
Ora dede̾ sonũ: tenui crepitantia rostro.
her clacking mouth with its long slender bill, uttered moaning sounds:
btv1b52514166k_f106
Sᵈ enserit ħ ceix. an uultũ motibꝰ undȩ
All those who saw it doubted whether Ceyx could feel her kisses;
btv1b52514166k_f106
Tollere sit uisę. płi dubitabat. at ille
and it seemed to them the moving waves had raised his countenance.
btv1b52514166k_f106
Senserat. & tandẽ suꝑis miserantibꝰ ambo
But he was truly conscious of her grief; and through the pity of the gods above,
btv1b52514166k_f106
Alite mutant᷑. fatis obnoxiꝰ isdẽ
at last they both were changed to flying birds, together in their fate.
btv1b52514166k_f106
Tunc qꝗ mansit amor. nec ꝯiugale solutũ
Their love lived on, nor in these birds were marriage bonds dissolved,
btv1b52514166k_f106
Fedꝰ malitibꝰ. coeunt. fiuntq parentes.
and they soon coupled and were parent birds.
btv1b52514166k_f106

Each winter during seven full days of calm
btv1b52514166k_f106
Incubat altione pendentibꝰ eqͦre undis.
Halcyone broods on her floating nest— her nest that sails upon a halcyon sea:
btv1b52514166k_f106
Tũ uia tuta maris. uentos cꝰtod̃ & arc&
the passage of the deep is free from storms throughout those seven full days; and Aeolus restraining harmful winds,

An old man saw the two birds fly across the wide extended sea

Quẽ mare carpentẽ substrictaq crura gerentẽ
"There is another bird, which you can see skimming above the waves with folded legs drawn up;”

"It was first the son of a great king, as Ceyx, was: and if you wish to know his ancestry,

he would have equalled Hector's glorious fame,
