Nature
Book IX, 549
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. III, 1917)
Nature
A. Ye streams of the fountain, why have ye fled? Where is all that water gone? What fiery sun has extinguished the ever-runnng spring? B. We are exhausted by tears for Agricola; his thirsty dust has absorbed all the drink we had to give.
