I will weave a snowdrop; I will weave a tender narcissus in with myrtles; I will weave the laughing lilies too, and I will weave sweet saffron. Onto these I will weave a purple hyacinth, and I will weave roses, friends to lovers, so that my garland, on the brow of Heliodora with her perfumed curls, may scatter flowers on her beautiful hair.
Heliodora's garland is wilting upon her brow, but she is glowing, a garland to her garland.
Garland, stay hanging for me here by these double doors and do not prematurely shake off your leaves; I drenched you with my tears (for lovers' eyes are stormy). But when the door opens, and you see him, shed my rain over his head, so that at least his blond hair may drink my tears.
I am not fond of wine, but if you want to make me drunk, taste the cup first and offer it, and I will accept. Once you touch it to your lips, it is no longer easy to abstain or to flee from that sweet wine steward, for the cup ferries the kiss from you to me and tells me what joy it had.
The raging flame is extinguished; I suffer no longer but am dying, chilled by the Paphian goddess. For this bitter Love, panting its all-consuming breath, has gone past my flesh and now creeps through my bones and vitals. So the altar fire, when it has lapped up all the sacrifice, cools down of its own accord for lack of fuel.
