“O <strong>Sappho</strong>, I love you [<br />
the Cyprian Queen [<br />
And yet great [<br />
all people the sun shines on [<br />
your glory to all lands [<br />
and even in Ácheron you [<br />
[LP 65.5–10]<br />
<br />
And you, my Dika, crown your lovely locks with garlands,<br />
twining shoots <strong>of</strong> anise in your tender hands,<br />
for the blessed Graces come the sooner to those adorned<br />
with flowers, and turn away from the ungarlanded.<br />
[LP 81.6–9]<br />
<br />
Never yet, O Írana, have I found<br />
anyone more vexing than you.<br />
[LP 91]<br />
