Eros and the Bull Poem by Moschus

Eros and the Bull



His torch and quiver down sly Eros flung,
An ox-goad took in hand, a wallet slung,
Then yoked strong bulls and made the plough to train,
And as he went the furrow sowed with grain.
And looking up he said to Zeus; 'Make full
The harvest, or I'll yoke Europa's bull.'

translated by M. J. Chapman
