Love
To Juvencius (Catullus, Ep. 49)
Translated by Richard Lovelace (1659) · From Lucasta: Posthume Poems (1659)
Love
Juvencius, thy fair sweet eyes
If to my fill that I may kisse,
Three hundred thousand times I'de kisse,
Nor future age should cloy this blisse;
No, not if thicker than ripe ears
The harvest of our kisses bears.
