Catullus

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

  1. Now must I Cybele's she-slave, priestess of gods, be hight?
  2. I Maenad I, mere bit of self, I neutral barren wight?
  3. I spend my life-tide couch't beneath high-towering Phrygian peaks?
  4. I dwell on Ida's verdant slopes mottled with snowy streaks,
  5. Where homes the forest-haunting doe, where roams the wildling boar?
