Love: Posidippus (Third Century B.C.)

By The Greek Anthology

Translation of John William Mackail

JAR of Athens, drip the dewy juice of wine, drip, let the feast to which all bring their share be wetted as with dew; be silenced the swan-sage Zeno, and the Muse of Cleanthes, and let bitter-sweet Love be our concern.
