EPIGRAM (1) by MELEAGER

First Line: AS HONEY IN WINE / WINE, HONEY
Last Line: AS VINEYARDS OF DEATHLESS CYPRIS.
Subject(s): GAYS & LESBIANS;

As honey in wine / wine, honey
Alexis in Cleobulus
Cleobulus in Alexis
sweet-haired and lovely each
as he with whom the other
mingles . . . product
of such two entwined
potent
as vineyards of deathless Cypris.
