ABSTRACT
According to a note that follows this poem, it must have been the last of the first Book, which we know was composed of poems in the Sapphic stanza. But the words which are preserved seem to point to its being, like the next, a bridal song. The epithalamia, however, were in one recension of Sappho's poems grouped together in a separate book (viz. the 8th or 9th).
