CATULLUS, GAIUS VALERIUS, 84-54 BC (ORIG.) :  UNTO NO BODY MY WOMAN SAITH SHE HAD RATHER A WIFE BE

Unto no body my woman saith she had rather a wife be,
Then to my selfe, not though Jove grew a suter of hers.
These be her words, but a womans words to a love that is eager,
   In wind or waters streame do require to be writ.
