On a Picture of a Female Lyrist in Constantinople Poem by Paul the Silentiary
On a Picture of a Female Lyrist in Constantinople
The painting does not justly show thy beauty,
And would it had had the power to portray
The sweet tones of thy melodious mouth,
So that our eyes and ears might have been equally entranced
By thy face and thy lyre-playing.
