Love
Book XII, 184
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. IV, 1918)
Love
Study not to capture Menedemus by craft, but sign to him with your eyebrows and he will say openly, “ Go on, I follow.” For there is no delay, and he even “outrunneth him who guides him,’ and is more expeditious not than a water-channel but than a river.
