Excerpt from The Poems of Valerius Catullus: Translated Into English Verse, With Life of the Poet, Excursûs, and Illustrative Notes The following version of the Poems of Catullus - executed during the translator's leisure hours - is submitted to the public, not with the view of superseding existing translations, but of more widely diffusing an acquaintance with a poet who is now beginning to meet with some degree of the attention he deserves. The plan of reproducing all the poems may appear objectionable to some, but to the translator it seemed preferable to that of mutilating the poet, and presenting him in a totally different aspect from that in which he has revealed himself in his writings.
