Love
Book V, 198
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Love
No, by Timo’s locks, by Heliodora’s sandal, by Demo’s door that drips with scent, by great-eyed Anticlea’s gentle smile, by the fresh garlands on Dorothea’s brow, I swear it, Love, thy quiver hath no winged arrows left hidden; for all thy shafts are fixed in me.
