Catullus

Catullus, Gaius Valerius. The Carmina of Caius Valerius Catullus. Burton, Sir Richard Francis, translator. London, Printed for the Translators, 1894.

  1. Canst thou credit that I could avail to revile my life-love,
  2. She who be dearer to me even than either my eyes?
  3. Ne'er could I, nor an I could, should I so losingly love her:
  4. But with Tappo thou dost design every monstrous deed.
  1. Mentula fain would ascend Pipléan mountain up-mounting:
  2. Pitch him the Muses down headlong wi' forklets a-hurled.
  1. When with a pretty-faced boy we see one playing the Crier,
  2. What can we wot except longs he for selling the same?
