Ad Quintium. Cat. Ep. 83

Richard Lovelace

           AD QUINTIUM. CAT. EP. 83.

Quinti, si tibi vis oculos debere Catullum,
  Aut aliud si quid carius est oculis,
Eripere ei noli, multo quod carius illi
  Est oculis, seu quid carius est oculis.

                 TO QUINTIUS.

Quintius, if you'l endear Catullus eyes,
Or what he dearer then his eyes doth prize,
Ravish not what is dearer then his eyes,
Or what he dearer then his eyes doth prize.
