Here follow two translations where “he” is changed to “she” in the sixth stanza. The controversy as to the sex of the belovèd turns on the admission or omission of a single letter in the Greek.
Deathless Aphrodite, throned in flowers,

Come, as in that island dawn thou camest,
Billowing in thy yokèd car to Sappho
