"With flowery perfumes
precious, queenly
you anointed yourself
and on beds of soft luxury
you would satisfy all your longing
for that tender girl"
#Sappho 94

"Who, Sappho, is doing you wrong?
For if she flees, soon she will pursue you
if she refuses gifts, soon she shall give them
and if she doesn't love you, soon she will
even if she doesn't wish to."
[...]
"Whatever my heart desires to happen,
make it happen. And you [#Aphrodite]
be my comrade-in-arms."
#Sappho 1

"Iridescent- throned #Aphrodite, deathless child of Zeus and weaver of wiles I beg you
do not crush my heart,
o lady, with longing
[...]
Who, Sappho, is doing you wrong?
For if she flees, soon she will pursue you
if she refuses gifts, soon she shall give them
and if she does not love you, soon she will
even if she does not wish to."
