    Ah! replied my gentle fair,
    Beloved, what are names but air?
    Choose thou, whatever suits the line:
    Call me Sappho, call me Chloris,
    Call me Lalage, or Doris,
    Only, only, call me thine.

"Whose name was writ in water!" What large laughter
Among the immortals when that word was brought!
