Love
Book XII, 237
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. IV, 1918)
Love
Off with thee, pretended hater of evil; off with thee, low-minded boy, who didst swear so lately that never again wouldst thou grant me it. Swear no longer now ; for I know, and thou canst not conceal it from me, where it was, and how, and with whom, and for how much.
