Love
Libation
Translated by Rennell Rodd (1916) · From Love, Worship and Death (1916)
Love
Pour out as if for Peitho, and for the Cyprian pour,
Then for the sweet-voiced Graces, but all for Heliodore;
For there is but one goddess whose worship I enshrine,
And blent with her beloved name I drink the virgin wine.
