Love
Book V, 101
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
He. Good day, my dear. She. Good day. He. Who is she who is walking in front of you? She. What is that to you? He. I have a reason for asking. She. My mistress. He. May I hope? She. What do you want? He. A night. She. What have you for her? He. Gold. She. Then take heart. He. So much (shening the amount), She. You can't.
