Κλεονίδῃ. ἡ Σαπφὼ τοῦ ῥόδου ἐρᾷ καὶ στεφανοῖ αὐτὸ ἀεί τινι ἐγκωμίῳ τὰς καλὰς τῶν παρθένων ἐκείνῳ ὁμοιοῦσα, ὁμοιοῖ δὲ αὐτὸ καὶ τοῖς τῶν Χαρίτων πήχεσιν, ἐπειδὰν ἀποδύσῃ σφῶν τὰς ὠλένας. ἐκεῖνο μὲν οὖν εἰ καὶ κάλλιστον ἀνθέων, βραχὺ τὴν ὥραν, παρέπεται γὰρ τοῖς αὔοις ἐννεάσαν τῷ ἦρι, τὸ δὲ σὸν εἶδος ἀεὶ τέθηλεν, ὅθεν ὀφθαλμοῖς ἐμμειδιᾷ καὶ παρειαῖς οἷον τι ἔαρ τὸ μετόπωρον τοῦ κάλλους.
