Love
Fragment II: Here I give to be thine a fair grove, an holy, Priapus
Translated by Robinson Ellis (1871) · From The Poems and Fragments of Catullus (1871)
Love
Here I give to be thine a fair grove, an holy, Priapus,
Where thy Lampsacus holds thee in chamber seemly, Priapus;
God, in every city, thou, most ador'd on a sea-shore
Hellespontian, eminent most of oystery sea-shores.
