Love
Book V, 16
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Love
Golden-horned Moon, and all ye stars that shine around and sink into the bosom of Ocean, look on this! Perfumed Ariste is gone and hath left me alone, and for six days I “seek the witch in vain. But we shall catch her notwithstanding, if I put the silver hounds of Cypris on her track.
