FROM GREEK AND LATIN
On A Satyr and Sleeping Love*
Me whom the purple mead that Bromius owns And girdles rent of amorous girls did please, Now the inspired and curious hand decrees That waked quick life in these quiescent stones, To yield thee water pure. Thou lest the sleep Yon perilous boy unchain, more softly creep.
* Plato Page - 411 |
