Heaven Hath its Stars: Marcus Argentarius (First Century B.C.)

By The Greek Anthology

Translation of Richard Garnett

FEASTING, I watch with westward-looking eye

The flashing constellations’ pageantry,

Solemn and splendid; then anon I wreathe

My hair, and warbling to my harp I breathe

My full heart forth, and know the heavens look down

Pleased, for they also have their Lyre and Crown.
