EPIGRAM: DIODORUS by MELEAGER

First Line: DIODORUS IS NICE, ISN'T HE, PHILOCLES?
Last Line: I'LL SCRATCH THEM OUT.
Subject(s): GAYS & LESBIANS;

Diodorus is nice, isn't he, Philocles?
Everyone is looking at Heraclitus.
Dion has a lovely voice,
And Uliades a beautiful behind.
Go on, touch the soft-skinned one,
Drool over the second, speak to the third,
As to the fourth . . . and so on.
You see, I'm not jealous.
But if you cast your greedy eyes on Myiscus,
I'll scratch them out.
