Your lips were made to mock

Sappho fragment 155
loose translation by Michael R. Burch

 
A short transparent frock?
It's just my luck
your lips were made to mock!
 

NOTE: This is a translation of an epigram written by the legendary Sappho of Lesbos. Pollux wrote: "Sappho used the word beudos ['εῦδοσ] for a woman's dress, a kimbericon, a kind of short transparent frock."
