Epigram 38: Menætas, tir’d with war’s alarms
Translated by H. W. Tytler (1793; Bohn 1856) · From Works of Callimachus (Tytler, 1793)
Religion
Menætas, tir’d with war’s alarms,
Gave to the gods his shining arms,
And said, this quiver and this bow
On thee, Serapis, I bestow ;
This empty quiver; for my darts
Are all infix’d in hostile hearts.
