Excerpt from The Heroine in Bronze: Or a Portrait of a Girl; A Pastoral of the City
There is no other healing for love, O Nicias, either as an ointment or as a plaster, except the Muses. But agreeable and desirable though this remedy be in the lives of men, it is not easy to procure. - Theocritus.
I loved you, damsel, the first time you came... to pluck hyacinths on the mountain with me as your guide. I could not leave off loving you the first time I beheld you. I could not leave off loving you afterwards. And I cannot leave off loving you now. - Theocritus.
