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

  1. Thy Charmer (Flavius!) to Catullus' ear
  2. Were she not manner'd mean and worst in wit
  3. Perforce thou hadst praised nor couldst silence keep.
  4. But some enfevered jade, I wot-not-what,
  5. Some piece thou lovest, blushing this to own.
