Carmina

Catullus

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

  1. Sanction of Gods abused better to swindle mankind,
  2. Much there remains for thee during length of living, Catullus,
  3. Out of that Love ingrate further to solace thy soul;
  4. For whatever of good can mortal declare of another
  5. Or can avail he do, such thou hast said and hast done;
  6. While to a thankless mind entrusted all of them perisht.
