I call upon you, Abanthis (Loeb 22) I call upon you, Abanthis, Take up your lyre and sing of Gongyla While desire again circles you, my darling. For her dress aroused you, As you gazed at it, And I am thankful for that, For the holy queen, Cyprian Aphrodite, Once found fault with the way I prayed. You will remember (Loeb 24a) [......]* You will remember What we did When we were young, Many, beautiful things [......]* May the maidens sing (Loeb 30) May the maidens sing All night long, May they sing of your delights And of your bride, adorned with violets. Go and wake up your bachelor friends So that we can stay awake With the clear-voiced nightingale.
