Love
Book XII, 251
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. IV, 1918)
Love
Hitherto we had kisses face to face, and all that precedes the trial; for you were still a little boy, Diphilus. “But now I supplicate for them behind, that will be no longer with thee” afterwards; for let all things be as befits our age.
