6. Poem 1 

Deathless Aphrodite of the spangled mind,

child of Zeus, who twists lures, I beg you

do not break with hard pains,

             O lady, my heart

 

but come here if ever before

you caught my voice far off 

and listening left your father's

             golden house and came,

 

yoking your car. And fine birds brought you,

quick sparrows over the black earth

whipping their wings down the sky

            through midair---

they arrived. But you, O blessed one,

smiled in your deathless face
