On an Infant

Bewail not much, my parents! Me, the prey
Of ruthless Ades, and sepulcher'd here,
An infant, in my fifth scarce finish'd year,
He found all sportive, innocent, and gay,
Your young Callimachus; and if I knew
Not many joys, my griefs were also few.

– Lucian of Samosata (2nd century AD), translated by William Cowper (1799)
