A Rhetorical Question

Mimnermus, fragment 1, line 1 (tr. Douglas E. Gerber): What life is there, what pleasure without golden Aphrodite? τίς δὲ βίος, τί δὲ τερπνὸν ἄτερ χρυσέης Ἀφροδίτης; Horace, Epistles 1.6.65-66 (tr. Colin Macleod): If, as Mimnermus holds, without love and play there's no enjoyment, live for love and play. si, Mimnermus uti censet, sine amore iocisque nil est iucundum, vivas in amore iocisque.
