Carmina

Catullus

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

  1. And deeply printed with indelible stain:
  2. Morbose is either, and the twin-like twain
  3. Share single Couchlet; peers in shallow lore,
  4. Nor this nor that for lechery hungers more,
  5. As rival wenchers who the maidens claim
  6. Right well are paired these Cinaedes sans shame.
