In love, a verse of Mimnermus has more power than one of Homer.
Not only the bull attacks his enemies with curved horn, but also the sheep, when harmed fights back.
There is something beyond the grave; death does not end all, and the pale ghost escapes from the vanquished pyre.
Among absent lovers, ardor always fares better.
No rival will steal away my sure love; that glory will be my gray hair.
Do not unto another that which you would not he should do unto you.
