Carmina

Catullus

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

  1. Impious, the household gods with crime ne'er dreading to sully—
  2. All things fair and nefand being mixt in fury of evil
  3. Turned from ourselves avert the great goodwill of the Godheads.
  4. Wherefor they nowise deign our human assemblies to visit,
  5. Nor do they suffer themselves be met in light of the day-tide.
