Love

Epigram 107. Of Catullus, Tibullus, and Propertius

by Sir Aston Cokain 1608–1684

From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)

Love

The ancient Epigrammatist Catullus,
Propertius, and the amorous Tibullus,
Are often bound together: whats the reason?
They all weremerry Blades at every season;
Whilst they did live they often were together:
And now th' are dead th' are bound up so in Leather.
