Carmina

Catullus

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

  1. Bearing of nightly strife new signs and traces delicious,
  2. Won in the war he waged virginal trophies to win.
  3. Loathsome is Venus to all new-paired? Else why be the parents'
  4. Pleasure frustrated aye by the false flow of tears
  5. Poured in profusion amid illuminate genial chamber?
  6. Nay not real the 'groans; ever so help me the Gods!
