Description
Come to me from Krete to this holy temple,
here to your sweet apple grove,
altars smoking with

Cold water ripples through apple branches,
the whole place shadowed in roses,
from the murmuring leaves

*
Here, Aphrodite, after gathering . . .
pour into cups nectar
lavishly mingled
with joys.
