Religion
Epigram 54: Four are the Graces now; and all may see
Translated by H. W. Tytler (1793; Bohn 1856) · From Works of Callimachus (Tytler, 1793)
Religion
Four are the Graces now; and all may see
Another added to the former three,
Yet wet with unguents, and but lately born ;
Fair Berenice, blooming as the morn,
So bright with charms, and such her beauteous face,
That, robb’d of her, the Graces lose their grace.
