Catullus
Catullus, Gaius Valerius. The Carmina of Caius Valerius Catullus. Burton, Sir Richard Francis, translator. London, Printed for the Translators, 1894.
- What thought of folly Rávidus (poor churl!)
- Upon my iambs thus would headlong hurl?
- What good or cunning counsellor would fain
- Urge thee to struggle in such strife insane?
- Is't that the vulgar mouth thy name by rote?
- What will'st thou? Wishest on any wise such note?
- Then shalt be noted since my love so lief
- For love thou sued'st to thy lasting grief.
