Dorkion's Gaze, Greek Anthology XII.161.1-3

Dorcium quae ephebis-gaudet scit, ut delicatus puer*,

iaculari communis Cypridis velocem sagittam, [pendens

cupidinem fulgurans ab oculo, [sui] super humeros...

Δόρκιον ἡ φιλέφηβος ἐπίσταται, ὡς ἁπαλὸς παῖς,

ἕσθαι πανδήμου Κύπριδος ὠκὺ βέλος,

ἵμερον ἀστράπτουσα κατ᾽ ὄμματος, ἠδ᾽ ὑπὲρ ὤμων...

--Asclepiades, Greek Anthology XII.161.1-3

Dorkion, the tomboy, knows how to cast a loving gaze

Over their shoulder

And shoot a love-dart from their eyes

Just like a boyfriend would. 

*The term puer delicatus usually refers to a slave; it is likely that Dorkion is not a free person.
