Love
Galatea's Lover
Translated by J. M. Edmonds (1912) · From The Greek Bucolic Poets (Loeb, 1912)
Love
. . . But I will go my way to yonder hillside, singing low to sand and shore my supplication of the cruel Galatea; for I will not give over my sweet hopes till I come unto uttermost old age . . .
