Carmina

Catullus

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

  1. One urban being, Formian t'other wight,
  2. And deeply printed with indelible stain:
  3. Morbose is either, and the twin-like twain
  4. Share single Couchlet; peers in shallow lore,
  5. Nor this nor that for lechery hungers more,
  6. As rival wenchers who the maidens claim
  7. Right well are paired these Cinaedes sans shame.
