Love
Book XII, 193
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. IV, 1918)
Thou dost not even take to heart, Artemidorus, what the Avenging Goddesses of Smyrna say to thee, “ Nothing beyond due measure,” but thou art always acting, talking loud in a tone so arrogant and savage, not even becoming in an actor. Thou shalt remember all this, haughty boy; thou, too, shalt love and play the part of “The barred-out lady.”
