Carmina
Catullus
Catullus, Gaius Valerius. The Carmina of Caius Valerius Catullus. Burton, Sir Richard Francis, translator. London, Printed for the Translators, 1894.
- This place, O youths, I protect, nor less this turfbuilded cottage,
- Roofed with its osier-twigs and thatched with its bundles of sedges;
- I from the dried oak hewn and fashioned with rustical hatchet,
- Guarding them year by year while more are they evermore thriving.
