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

  1. Upon rich banquets sumptuously spread
  2. Still gorge you daily while my comrades must
  3. Go seek invitals where the three roads fork?
  1. Those honied eyes of thine (Juventius!)
  2. If any suffer me sans stint to buss,
  3. I'd kiss of kisses hundred thousands three,
  4. Nor ever deem I'd reach satiety,
  5. Not albe denser than dried wheat-ears show
  6. The kissing harvests our embraces grow.
  1. Most eloquent 'mid race of Romulus>
  2. That is or ever was (Marc Tullius!)
