Rest at Noon: Meleager of Gadara (First Century B.C.)
By The Greek Anthology
Translation of John William Mackail
V
OICEFUL cricket, drunken with drops of dew, thou playest thy rustic music that murmurs in the solitude, and perched on the leaf edges shrillest thy lyre-tune with serrated legs and swart skin. But, my dear, utter a new song for the tree-nymphs’ delight, and make thy harp-notes echo to Pan’s, that escaping Love I may seek out sleep at noon, here, lying under the shady plane.
