Translated by Sir Richard F. Burton (1894) · From The Carmina of Caius Valerius Catullus (1894)

Furius! our Villa never Austral force
Broke, neither set thereon Favonius' course,
Nor savage Boreas, nor Epeliot's strain,
But fifteen thousand crowns and hundreds twain
Wreckt it,--Oh ruinous by-wind, breezy bane!
