Catullus

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

  1. Ravished; (alas and alas!) of our life thou cruellest cruel
  2. Venom, (alas and alas!) plague of our friendship and pest.
  3. Yet must I now lament that lips so pure of the purest
  4. Damsel, thy slaver foul soiled with filthiest kiss.
  5. But ne'er hope to escape scot free; for thee shall all ages
  6. Know, and what thing thou be, Fame, the old crone, shall declare.
