Love
Book V, 134
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Love
Shower on us, O Attic jug, the dewy rain of Bacchus ; shower it and refresh our merry picnic. Let Zeno, the learned swan, be kept silent, and Cleanthes’ Muse, and let our converse be of Love the bitter-sweet.
