OF GALLUS.

Gallus hath brothers in pair, this owning most beautiful consort,
While unto that is given also a beautiful son.
Gallus is charming as man; for sweet loves ever conjoins he,
So that the charming lad sleep wi' the charmer his lass.
Gallus is foolish wight, nor self regards he as husband,
When being uncle how nuncle to cuckold he show.

Catullus. Carmina. Sir Richard Francis Burton. trans. London. For translator for private use. 1894.
