Sosibius complained to the king, and the book of receipts was sent for, in which Philadelphus found the names of Soter, Sosigines, Bion, and Apollonius, and showing to the critic one syllable of his name in each of those words, said that putting them together, they must be taken as the receipt for his salary. Other authors wrote on lighter matters.
I even fancied again and again that her lips moved her exquisitely chiseled mouth, and that a faint breath played with her abundant, waving, shining brown hair, as it does with yours. "The Muse sped my hand and the portrait Bion and the rest will praise it, I think, though it is no more like the unapproachable original than that lamp is like the evening star yonder."
Nor so much, by the grey sea-waves, did ever the sea-bird sing, nor so much in the dells of dawn did the bird of Memnon bewail the son of the Morning, fluttering around his tomb, as they lamented for Bion dead.
Lovell under the names of Moschus and Bion; the two volumes of poems under his own name, and the Joan of Arc. Nor was there at that time wanting a party spirit to aggravate the defects of a poet, who with all the courage of uncorrupted youth had avowed his zeal for a cause, which he deemed that of liberty, and his abhorrence of oppression by whatever name consecrated.
About 30 B.C. Greek explorers by the names of Bion, Dalion, and Si-mondes were engaged in active exploration of the Nile above the First Cataract and perhaps south of Khartum, according to the account of Pliny the Elder, writing in 50 A.D.

And with him music is dead and Dorian poetry perished " She had the conceited, exciting thought: "I am translating Moschus, the Funeral Song for Bion." Moschus was Bion's friend. She wondered whether he had been happy or unhappy, making his funeral song. If you could translate it all: if you could only make patterns out of English sounds that had the hardness and stillness of the Greek.
This hermit too has his "harp symphonious." He makes the same complaint, and finds the same comfort for it, as Edwin had done in the first book of the Minstrel. Both are the Christian's comment on a well-known passage in the Idyllium of Moschus, on the death of Bion.
The age of Theocritus and Bion has given place to shall we say the age of the Caesars, or the irruption of the barbarians? and the love-singers of the North are beginning to feel, that if that passion is to retain any longer its rightful place in their popular poetry, it must be spoken of henceforth in words as lofty and refined as those in which the most educated and the most gifted speak of it.
