Ode 6: A Prayer to Love

O Eros, conqueror of hearts, with whom
Disport the blue-eyed nymphs and Cypris fair:
With eyes uplift to Ida's leafy gloom
I breathe to thee a prayer.

The maid for whom I glow thy power defies.
Her snow-cold bosom melt with thy fond fire;
That she moved by my importunities
May grant my heart's desire.
