Epitaph to a Maltese watch-dog

The snow-white Maltese dog beneath this loam
was once the guardian of Eumelus' home;
his faithful bark that voiced and gave delight
now echoes down the empty ways of Night.

(from "Sweet-voiced Sappho. Poems of Sappho and other Ancient Greek Authors translated into English Verse by Theodore Stephanides", 2015)
