Religion
Book VI, 87
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Religion
Thy Pan, Bacchus, dedicates to thee his fawn-skin and club, seduced away from thy dance by Venus ; for he loves Echo and wanders up and down. But do thou, Bacchus, forgive him, for the like hath befallen thee.
