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

  1. To tarry 'mid the snows and where lurk beasts in antres frore
  2. And seek the deeply hidden lairs where furious ferals meet!
  3. Where, Country! whither placed must I now hold thy site and seat?
  4. Lief would these balls of eyes direct to thee their line of sight,
  5. Which for a while, a little while, would free me from despite.
