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

  1. Yet must I now lament that lips so pure of the purest
  2. Damsel, thy slaver foul soiled with filthiest kiss.
  3. But ne'er hope to escape scot free; for thee shall all ages
  4. Know, and what thing thou be, Fame, the old crone, shall declare.
  1. Gallus hath brothers in pair, this owning most beautiful consort,
  2. While unto that is given also a beautiful son.
