ECHO by AULUS LICINIUS ARCHIAS

First Line: I'M VOLUBLE; I'M VOICELESS; I AM ECHO: I REPLY
Last Line: BUT IF YOU'RE SILENT, SO AM I. HOW WELL I MIND MY TONGUE!
Subject(s): ECHO (MYTHOLOGY);
I'M voluble; I'm voiceless; I am Echo: I reply
To all I hear; so heed your talk as you are passing by.
Whatever word you say I shall return to you, reflung:
But if you're silent, so am I. How well I mind my tongue!
