How to copy a node by using Cypher?

I want to copy a node by using cypher. Now I can get all properties by properties() function in cypher, what is the next step? Do I have to using the driver like py2neo to write them in python. Dose Cypher has some function like copy() to copy the node directly?

Update for Neo4j 5

The use of nodes or relationships for setting properties is deprecated.

You can use properties() function instead

match (old:Mynode) create (new:Mynode) set new = properties(old)
