Epilogue: Philodemus (60 B.C.)
By The Greek Anthology
Translation of John William Mackail
I
WAS in love once; who has not been? I have reveled; who is uninitiated in revels? Nay, I was mad; at whose prompting but a god’s? Let them go; for now the silver hair is fast replacing the black, a messenger of wisdom that comes with age. We too played when the time of playing was; and now that it is no longer, we will turn to worthier thoughts.
