As a hyacinth in the mountains that men shepherding

tread underfoot, and to the ground its flower, all purple [

[LP 105c]

As a poet of Lesbos surpasses foreigners

[LP 106]

Do I really still long for virginity?

[LP 107]

O beautiful, O graceful girl

[LP 108]

We will give her, her father says.

[LP 109]

The feet of the doorkeeper

are seven fathoms long,

his sandals made of five oxhides,

ten cobblers worked to stitch them.

[LP 110]

Lift high the roofbeam,

Hymenaeus,

lift high, you carpenters:

Hymenaeus,

the groom is coming, Ares’ equal,

greater far than a mortal man.

[LP 111]
