NAMES
Reading edition
I ASKED my fair, one happy day, What I should call her in my lay; By what sweet name from Rome or Greece Lalage, Neæra, Chloris, Sappho, Lesbia, or Doris, Arethusa or Lucrece. “Ah!” replied my gentle fair, “Beloved, what are names but air? Choose you whatever suits the line; Call me Daphne, call me Chloris, Call me Lalage or Doris, Only, only call me thine.” Samuel T. Coleridge.
