Rapidly they arrived; and thou favored one with everlasting face grinning didst ask: What now is come upon me and why now I call and what I in my heart's franticness, generally seek. What reasonable one now wouldst thou attract to love thee? Who wrongs thee Sappho?

Come I supplicate thee now and discharge me from coldblooded considerations, and let my heart finish all that it covets, and be thou my associate." - Sappho
