“My Thracian foal, why do you glare with disdain and then shun me absolutely as if I knew nothing of this art? I tell you I could bridle you with tight straps, seize the reins and gallop you around the posts of the pleasant course. But you prefer to graze on the calm meadow, or frisk and gambol gayly—having no manly rider to break you in.” — Anakreon
My Thracian foal, why do you glare with disdain
and then shun me absolutely as if I knew
nothing of this art?
I tell you I could bridle you with tight straps,
seize the reins and gallop you around the posts
of the pleasant course.
But you prefer to graze on the calm meadow,
or frisk and gambol gayly—having no manly
rider to break you in.
