LESBIA [RAILING] by GAIUS VALERIUS CATULLUS

First Line: LESBIA FOREVER ON ME RAILS
Last Line: YET, HANG ME, BUT I LOVE HER DEARLY.
Subject(s): LOVE;

Lesbia forever on me rails.
To talk of me she never fails.
Now, hang me, but for all her art,
I find that I have gained her heart.
My proof is this: I plainly see
The case is just the same with me;
I curse her every hour sincerely,
Yet, hang me, but I love her dearly.
