Carmina

Catullus

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

That fairer femininety

Clear day outdawned from Ocean stream

Shall ever more behold.

Such in the many-tinted bower

Of rich man's garden passing gay

Upstands the hyacinthine flower.

But thou delayest, wanes the day:

“Prithee, come forth new Bride.”

Prithee, come forth new Bride! methinks,

Drawing in sight, the talk we hold

Thou haply hearest. See the Links!
