Carmina
Catullus
Catullus, Gaius Valerius. The Carmina of Caius Valerius Catullus. Burton, Sir Richard Francis, translator. London, Printed for the Translators, 1894.
- Rhine Gallic, horrid Ocean and remote
- Britons low-dwelling;
- All these (whatever shall the will design
- Of Heaven-homed Gods) Oh ye prepared to tempt;
- Announce your briefest to that damsel mine
- In words unkempt :—
- Live she and love she wenchers several,
- Embrace three hundred wi' the like requitals,
- None truly loving and withal of all
- Bursting the vitals:
- My love regard she not, my love of yore,
