A guardian should guard and a lover love.

τὸν φρουρὸν φρουεῖν χρή, τὸν ἐρῶντα δ᾿ ἐρᾶν.

Macarius, not always a household name.

    1. Stupid Typo!

      I can’t find it in the TLG easily either–I plucked it from Gerber’s Elegy Loeb (page 488). The reference there is Paroem. Gr. ii.219.10.

      Sorry for the error. Sloppy Friday.
