20 V.
A SUMMER DAY IN OLD SICILY.
GODS, what a sun ! I think the world's aglow.
This garment irks me. Phcebus, it is hot !
'T were sad if Glycera should find me shot By flame-tipped arrows from the Archer's bow.
Perchance he envies me, the villain ! O For one tree's shadow or a cliff-side grot !
Where shall I shelter that he slay me not ?
In what cool air or element ? I know.
The sea shall save me from the sweltering land.
Far out I'll wade, till creeping up and up, The cold green water quenche...s every limb.
Then to the jealous god with lifted hand I'll pour libation from a rosy cup, And leap, and dive, and see the tunnies swim.
21 VI.
SIMAETHA, I.
Idyl ii.
Go, pluck me laurel-leaves, dear Thestylis, From any bough that shimmers in the moon ; To dread Selene pray the while, and miss No single word of all the magic rune.
She, only she, can grant the lover's boon, She, only she, restore a maiden's bliss ; He comes not now, my sweet, but soon, O soon, He will be waiting, watching, for my kiss.
