Love
Book XII, 149
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. IV, 1918)
Love
“You will be caught, Menecrates, do all you can to escape,’ I said on the twentieth of Panemus; and in Loius on what day ?—the tenth—the ox came of his own accord under the yoke of the plough. Well done, my Hermes! well done, my own! I don’t complain of the twenty days’ delay.
