Subject(s): Goddesses & Gods; Mythology
COME, young Chromis, I love thee, and I am lovely,
Pale as Dian, and light as her heart is mine!
Who am tall and proud as the Goddess. The shepherds wonder
When I go by them at twilight with downcast eyne,
Whether indeed I am made in the fashion of mortals,
And gazing, they whisper together, "What beauty divine!"
