Note 1090 — Chapter II · WOMEN OF DORIC STATES.
Reading edition
Ὧ φιλτάτη Λάκαινα, χαῖρε.
οἷον τὸ κάλλος, γλυκυτάτη, σοῦ φαίνεται.
ὡς δ᾽ εὐχροεῖς, ὡς δὲ σφριγᾷ τὸ σῶμά σου,
κἂν ταῦρον ἄγχοις.
Which may be thus translated:
Beloved Laconian, welcome!
How glorious is thy beauty, love! how ruddy
The tint of thy complexion! Vigour and health
So brace thy frame that thou a bull couldst throttle.
Aristoph. Lysist. 78 sqq.
