Living
Book IX, 374
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. III, 1917)
From the neighbouring grove I, ever-flowing Pure Fount, gush forth for passing travellers. On all sides, well canopied by planes and softly blooming laurels, I offer a cool resting-place under the shade. ‘Therefore pass me not by in summer. Dispel thy thirst and rest thee, too, from toil in peace beside me.
