τῷ θαλλῷ Διδύμη με συνήρπασεν ὤ μοι. ἐγὼ δὲ
— Paton edition
τήκομαι, ὡς κηρὸς πὰρ πυρί, κάλλος ὁρῶν.
εἰ δὲ μέλαινα, τί τοῦτο ; καὶ ἄνθρακες: ἀλλ᾽ ὅτ᾽ ἐκείνους
θάλψωμεν, λάμπους1᾽ ὡς ῥόδεαι κάλυκες.
Didyme by the branch she waved at me has carried me clean away, alas ! and looking on her beauty, I melt like wax before the fire. And if she is dusky, what is that to me ? So are the coals, but when we light them, they shine as bright as roses.
— Paton edition
Par ses taquineries, Didymê m’a ravi ; hélas ! je fonds comme cire au feu à la vue de sa beauté. Si elle est noire, qu’importe ? Les charbons le sont aussi ; mais une fois allumés, ils brillent tels que des calices de roses.
