Love
Book V, 61
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Love
Playing at Condax with dark-eyed Philippa I made her laugh sweetly with all herheart. “I have thrown you’ I said “twelve, and to-morrow I will throw you another twelve or even more, as I know how.” Then when she was told she came, and laughing I said to her “I wish I had called you at night too when you were coming.”
