C. Valerius Catullus, Carmina (ed. Sir Richard Francis Burton), OF HIS FRIEND CAMERIUS (search)
oughout Campus Minor sought we all, Thee in the Circus, thee in each bookstall, Thee in Almighty Jove's fane consecrate. Nor less in promenade titled from The Great (Friend!) I accosted each and every quean, But mostly madams showing mien serene, For thee I pestered all with many pleas— "Give me Came n us, wanton baggages!" Till answered certain one a-baring breasts "Lo, 'twixt these rosy paps he haply rests!" But now to find thee were Herculean feat.

ened, Theseus Forth from the bow-bent shore Piraean putting a-seawards Reacht the Gortynian roofs where dwelt the injurious Monarch. For 'twas told of yore how forced by pestilence cruel, Eke as a blood rite due for the Androgeonian murder, Many a chosen youth and the bloom of damsels unmarried Food for the Minotaur, Cecropia was wont to befurnish. Seeing his narrow walls in such wise vexed with evils, Theseus of freest will for dear-loved Athens his body Offered a victim so that no more to Crete be deported Lives by Cecropia doomed to burials burying nowise; Then with a swifty ship and soft breathed breezes a-stirring, Sought he Minos the Haughty where homed in proudest of Mansions. Him as with yearning glance forthright espied the royal Maiden, whom pure chaste couch aspiring delicate odours Cherisht, in soft embrace of a mother comforted all-whiles, (E'en as the myrtles begot by the flowing floods of Eurotas, Or as the tincts distinct brought forth by breath of the springtide) Nev
