Preparer’s Note

The epigrams in the book are given both in Greek and in English. This text includes only the English. Where Greek is present in short citations, it has been given here in transliterated form and marked with brackets. A chapter of Notes on the translations has also been omitted.

{eti pou proima leuxoia}
          Meleager in /Anth. Pal./ iv. 1.

Dim now and soil’d,
          Like the soil’d tissue of white violets
          Left, freshly gather’d, on their native bank.
          M. Arnold, /Sohrab and Rustum/.
