Carmina

Catullus

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

  1. Dost find this funny? Fool it passeth thee
  2. How 'tis a sordid deed, a sorry jest.
  3. Dost misbelieve me? Trust to Pollio,
  4. Thy brother, ready to compound such thefts
  5. E'en at a talent's cost; for he's a youth
  6. In speech past master and in fair pleasantries.
  7. Of hendecasyllabics hundreds three
  8. Therefore expect thou, or return forthright
  9. Linens whose loss affects me not for worth
  10. But as mementoes of a comrade mine.
