Carmina

Catullus

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

  1. If to the dumb deaf tomb can aught or grateful or pleasing
  2. (Calvus!) ever accrue rising from out of our dule,
  3. Wherewith yearning desire renews our loves in the bygone,
  4. And for long friendships lost many a tear must be shed;
  5. Certès, never so much for doom of premature death-day
  6. Must thy Quintilia mourn as she is joyed by thy love.
