_Greek Epigram by an uncertain Author._--
Εἴ με φιλοῦντα φιλεῖς, δισσὴ χάρις· εἰ δέ με μισεῖς,
Τόσσον μισηθείης, ὅσσον ἐγώ σε φιλῶ.
_Imitated._
"Shouldst thou, O Daphne! for my sake,
An equal pain endure,
A sense of gratitude will make
The bond of love secure.
But shouldst thou, reckless of my fate,
Unkind and cruel prove,
Sweet maid, thou'lt never learn to hate
So truly as I love."
