Love
Book XII, 174
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. IV, 1918)
Love
How long wilt thou resist me, dearest Cyrus? What art thou doing? Dost thou not pity thy Cambyses tell me. Become not a Mede, for soon thou shalt be a Scythian and the hairs will make thee Astyages.
