The nekkid Theognis

"Love me not with words alone,

Hiding mind and spirits contrary,

If you love with a true mind: but

Love me with an honest soul, or

Openly distance yourself fro' me;

Confess this breach estranging us:

Whoever speaks with single tongue but

Hides a double mind's a poor mate, Kyrnus,

Better my good foe than a false friend to me."
--from "The nekkid Theognis"
