Hedylus
4 quotes
“Wine and treacherous toasts and the sweet love of Nicagoras sent Aglaonice to sleep; and here hath she dedicated to Cypris these spoils of her maiden love still all dripping with scent, her sandals and the soft band that held her bosom, witnesses to her sleep and his violence then.”

“With wine and words of love and fervid vow He lulled me into bed. I closed my eyes, A sleepy, stupid innocent . . . And now I dedicate the spoils of my surprise: The silk that bound my breasts, my virgin zone, The cherished purity I could not keep . . . Goddess, remember we were all alone, And he was strong—and I was half asleep.”
