Gaius Valerius Catullus, 58 "To Marcus Caelius Rufus: On Lesbia"

Catullus writes to Caelius about their Lesbia acting like a prostitute.

 

Tier 1

o Caeli, nostra Lesbia, illa Lesbia quam Catullus amavit plus quam se et omnes suos,

 

nunc illa Lesbia se prostituit viris Romanis in viis apertis et in viis post aedificia.
