Living
Book IX, 144
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. III, 1917)
Living
This is the place of Cypris, for it is sweet to her to look ever from the Jand on the bright deep, that she may make the voyages of sailors happy; and around the sea trembles, looking on her polished image.
