Book V, 102
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Love
“You will see Dioclea, a rather slim little Venus, but blessed with a sweet disposition.” “Then there won't be much between us, but falling on her thin bosom I will lie all the nearer to her heart.”
