Sappho - To Atthis The Inconstant

Sappho - To Atthis The Inconstant

Fragments 33, 57A, 44, 41, 70, 58 combined. br br I loved thee, Atthis, — even thee! — br br Ah, long ago! br As Aphrodite's handmaid bright br As gold wert thou then in my sight. br A very queen of love to me br br Then didst thou show. br Fair gifts I sent thee — 'broidery br Of golden thread whose shimmering light br Flashed mid the purple on thy knee, br br A gleam and glow.
