Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)
Death & Dying
“Many of Nonna’s tears, dear table, didst thou receive ; receive now her soul, her last sacrifice,” so spake she, and her soul flew from her limbs. One thing alone did she lack, her son, her still surviving child.
