Rowland Smith translation

"πῶς ἄν τις αὐτο φύγοι; πτερὰ ἔχει καὶ καταλήψεται."—Longus, B.i.

"Αll his body is a fire, And his breath a flame entire. . . . . . . He doth bear a golden bow, And a quiver hanging low. . . . . . . Wings he hath which though ye clip He will leap from lip to lip, . . . . . . And if chance his arrow misses He will shoot himself in kisses."—Ben Jonson.
