Acon

Bear me to Dictaeus,

and to the steep slopes;

to the river Erymanthus.

 

I choose spray of dittany,

cyperum, frail of flower,

buds of myrrh,

all-healing herbs,

close pressed in calathes.

 

For she lies panting,

drawing sharp breath,

broken with harsh sobs.

she, Hyella,

whom no god pities.
