LOVE by IBYCUS

First Line: LO, LOVE AGAIN WITH GLANCING EYES
Last Line: UNWILLINGLY TO THE COURSE.
Subject(s): LOVE;

LO, love again with glancing eyes
That melt from under lids of jet
Drives me with manifold sorceries
Into the Cyprian's boundless net.
Ah, how I tremble when he comes on,
Like an old champion chariot-horse,
Who drags the light car, when youth is gone,
Unwillingly to the course.
