1. CĒYX ET ALCYONĒ

2. Cēyx, rēx Trāchīnius, fīlius erat Lūciferī, stellae mātūtīnae; uxor fidēlissima erat Alcyonē, fīlia Aeolī, deī ventōrum.

3. Cēyx ad ōrāculum Clarium īre parat ut sortēs sacrās cōnsulat.

4. Alcyonē eum frūstrā ōrāvit nē super aequora īret

5. Alcyonē oculōs sustulit videtque marītum stantem in nāve recurvā dantemque sibi signa manū.

6. Nāvis frācta est; Cēyx in mare iactātus est
Nāvis frācta est; Cēyx in mare iactātus est. In ōre Cēӯcis nūlla nisi Alcyonē est.

7. Intereā fīlia Aeolī, ignāra tantōrum malōrum, Iūnōnis templa colēbat prōque virō (quī nūllus erat) ad ārās veniēbat.

8. At dea nōn iam sustinet prō mortūo rogārī et Morpheum ad Alcyonem īnfēlīcem imāgine Cēӯcis mīsit ut vērōs cāsūs in somnō nārrāret.

9. Māne ēgreditur tectīs ad lītus, et corpus, naufragum, recognōvit: erat coniūnx!

10. Alcyonē sē iacit in undās. Volābat per āera pennīs nātīs
Alcyonē sē iacit in undās. Volābat per āera pennīs nātīs. Ut corpus sine sanguine tetigit, artūs amplexa recentibus ālīs, ōscula frīgida dūrō rostrō dedit.

11. Hoc Cēyx sēnsit et tandem deīs miserantibus, ambo in avēs mūtantur.

12. Coeunt et fīunt parentēs perque septem diēs placidōs hibernō tempore incubat Alcyonē pendentibus aequore nīdīs.

13. Antīquī crēdēbant alcyonēs in nīdīs in aequore pendentibus incubāre sed cōnstat, quamquam quaedam genera avium nīdōs fluitantēs cōnstruant, alcyonēs pullōs nōn in faciē maris sed in forāminibus in rīpīs flūminum ēdūcere.
