Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lesbiad of Catullus and Pervigilium Veneris: Mood Transcriptions; And Songs of a Wayfarer
The Lesbiad of Catullus
(Da Mi Basia )
We live, Lesbia,
And we love, Lesbia,
And what do we care what the world may say?
The sun goes down,
And the sun comes up,
But our little lives pass away In a day,
Our poor little lives pass away.
Then oh my Lesbia
Live and love
Quick to my arms, and quick to my heart
A thousand kisses
Ten thousand kisses
Have done with a million Then start
Again; for I fear
Some wretch may envy us, dear,
