And then at once he raised his bow. And let his arrows rattle; His golden quiver he did show, And challenged me to battle. With breast-plate like Achilles I My shoulders then defended. My spear and ox-hide shield to try. With Eros I contended. He shot, I fled, and, in his heart Ferocious anger feeling, His arrows gone, he threw a dart, Himself in it concealing. He touched my heart, he laid me low • No arms can now protect me. Without why should I missiles throw? Within strife doth affect me. 12...2 Anacreontea TO HIS LOVES (13) If thou the leaves of every tree Wouldst understand to count for me, If thou couldst find the billows all, Which on the Ocean rise and fall, I'll grant thee then and then alone That all my loves by thee are known. In Athens first do I adore Full twenty loves, then fifteen more. Next Corinth with whole chains of loves My heart e'en more than Athens moves; For Corinth by Achaea is claimed. Which is for women's beauty famed. From Lesbos and Ionia, From Rhodos and from Caria Two thousand loves put down for me.
