A. Παρθενία, παρθενία, ποῖ με λίποισ᾽ ἀποίχῃ; [transcription] B. Οὐκέτι ἤξω πρὸσ σέ, οὐκέτι ἤξω. [transcription] Maidenhood, maidenhood, whither art thou gone from me? Never, O, never again, shall I return to thee. Quoted by Demetrius, to show the beauty of Sappho's style, and her successful use of repetition.
