Philosophy's Subjection, by Leonidas of Tarentum

Philosophy's Subjection

Venus, at Rhodo's prayer this stick, and these
Sandals, the spoil of sage Posochares;
This dirty leather flask, this wallet torn,
Suffer thy sanctuary to adorn:
Trophies not rich but glorious, for they prove
Philosophy's subjection unto Love.
