Love
Book XII, 167
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. IV, 1918)
Love
Wintry is the wind, but Love the sweet-teared bears me, swept away by the revel, towards thee, Myiscus. And Desire’s heavy gale tosses me. But receive me, who sail on the sea of Cypris, into thy harbour.
