It is not generally know that a striking parallel to the second verse of Ben Jonson's To Celia (‘I sent thee late a rosy wreath …’) occurs in the Greek Anthology. An epigram there by an anonymous poet is briefer than Jonson's verse, but the thought is precisely the same:

Πέμπω σοι μύρον ἡύ, μύρῳ παρέΧων Χάριν, οὐ σοί αὐτή γάρ μυρίσαι καὶ τὸ μύρον ύνασαι.

‘I send thee sweet perfume, granting a favour to the perfume, not to thee; for thou thyself canst perfume even the perfume.’
