Of Pella, born c310 BC in Macedonia, contemporary of Asclepiades.

     Doricha

     So now the very bones of you are gone
     Where they were dust and ashes long ago;
     And there was the last ribbon you tied on
     To bing your hair, and that is dust also;
     And somewhere there is dust that was of old
     A soft and scented garment that your wore -
     The same that once will dawn did closely fold
     You in with fair Charaxus, fair no more.
     But Sappho, and the white leaves of her song,
     Will make your name a word for all to learn,
     And all to love thereafter, even while
     It's but a name; and this will be as long
     As there are distant ships that will return
     Again to Naucratis and to the Nile.
