”(…) The more she followed him the hotter did she burn, as when the flame flares upward from the sulphur on the torch. (…) “Who is here?” and Echo, “Here!” Replies. Amazed, he casts his eyes around, and calls with louder voice, “Come here!” “Come here!” She calls the youth who calls.—He turns to see who calls him and, beholding naught exclaims, “Avoid me not!” “Avoid me not!” returns. He tries again, again, and is deceived by this alternate voice, and calls aloud; “Oh let us come together!” Echo cries, “Oh let us come together!” Never sound seemed sweeter to the Nymph, and from the woods she hastens in accordance with her words, and strives to wind her arms around his neck. He flies from her and as he leaves her says, “Take off your hands! you shall not fold your arms around me. Better death than such a one should ever caress me!” Naught she answers save, “Caress me!” Thus rejected she lies hid in the deep woods, hiding her blushing face with the green leaves; and ever after lives concealed in lonely caverns in the hills. But her great love increases with neglect; her miserable body wastes away, wakeful with sorrows; leanness shrivels up her skin, and all her lovely features melt, as if dissolved upon the wafting winds—nothing remains except her bones and voice—her voice continues, in the wilderness.

Čím blíže jde za ním, tím prudším plamenem hoří, (…) “Kdo tu? Jsem zde!” “Jsem zde,” dá v odpověď Échó. (…) Hoch se ohlédl, nikdo však nejde, i volá: “Proč prcháš přede mnou?” Všechna ta slova, jež vyřkl, se vrátila k němu. Neustal; ozvěny střídavou hrou jsa oklamán, volá: “Tady se můžeme sloučit!” a Échó odvětí: “Sloučit-” (…) Prchl však hoch a volá prchaje: “Nech si své lokty! Raději zemřu dřív, než s tebou v lásce se spojím!”
