ARCHIAS.
Book V., Epigram 59.
From Eros would'st thou flee?
Vain shall the struggle be:
Canst thou escape on foot
One winged to follow thee?
Book VII., Epigram 191. EPITAPH ON A MAGPIE.
I who often did reply
To fisherman's or shepherd's song
With my merry mockmg cry,
Like an echo from the sky,
Now, without a voice or tongue,
Silent, fall'n to earth, I lie.
