Lacon.
Would Sybaris ran honey, maiden mine ; On thee, then, in its sweetness, dipping low Thy water-pitcher, every morn should shine.
Comatas.
On clover are my little she-goats fed ; The mastic shoots they trample to the ground.
And on the soft ground-laurel make their bed.
Lacon.
The honey-flower sweet my lambs have found * Specifics against anger.
80 The Sicilian Idyls of Theocritus And everywhere the creeping vines are spread.
And, rich as roses, flourish all around.
Comatas.
No more, no mo...re do I Alcippe love.
For unto me she gave no fond caress When yesterday I brought to her the dove.
Lacon.
But evermore my darling will I bless For the kind kiss she gave me once, to prove.
For present of a pipe, her thankfulness.
Comatas.
Against the nightingale sings not the pye.
Nor is the hoopoe rival of the swan ; But, upstart, thou must every one defy.
Morson, I bid the shepherd cease. The prize doth lie With thee, Comatas. To the nymphs begone !
Offer the lamb in pledge of victory, — But see that Morson hath a haunch anon.
