Note 14 — BOOK IV.
Rowland Smith translation
"That Dionysius in the valleys green Once tended kine, she never heard, I ween; Nor knows that Cypris on a cowherd doted, And on the Phrygian hills herself devoted To tend his herd; nor how the same Dionis In thickets kiss'd, in thickets wept, Adonis. Who was Endymion? him tending kine Stooped down to kiss Selene the divine; Who from Olympus to the Latmian grove, Glided to slumber with her mortal love. Didst not thou, Rhea, for a cowherd weep? And didst not thou, high Zeus! the heaven sweep, In form of winged bird, and watch indeed, To carry off the cowherd Ganymede?"—Chapman's Theoc.
