Catullus

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

  1. Owns, nor a pretty foot, nor jetty eyes,
  2. Nor thin long fingers, nor mouth dry of slaver
  3. Nor yet too graceful tongue of pleasant flavour,
  4. Leman to Formian that rake-a-hell.
  5. What, can the Province boast of thee as belle?
  6. Thee with my Lesbia durst it make compare?
