Love
Book V, 268
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Let none fear any more the darts of desire ; for raging Love has emptied his whole quiver on me. Let none dread the coming of his wings ; for ever since he hath set his cruel feet on me, trampling on my heart, there he remains unmoved and unshaken and departs not, for on me he hath shed the feathers of his two wings
