Random Meleager of Gadara quote

3 quotes

Love-loving Asclepias, with her clear blue eyes, like summer seas, persuades all to make the love-voyage.

Asclēpias, child of passion, bright eyes like the calm sea’s blue,
You lure to sail for Cythēra whoever looks on you.

No wonder Cupid is a murderous boy;
A fiery archer making pain his joy.
His dam, while fond of Mars, is Vulcan's wife,
And thus 'twixt fire and sword divides her life.
