A Little Girl's Pet

Soft-fleshed Phanion cherished in her bosom me, the swiftfooted, long-eared leveret, carried off too young from my mother's breast, and fed me with spring flowers.
I did not pine for my mother, but I died from too much food, swollen with many meals.
She buried my body near her cottage so that in her dreams my grave might seem near her bed.
