On Mamurra and Caesar, by Catullus

On Mamurra and Caesar

Well matched are seen that infamous pair
Mamurra, Caesar; both do bear
The marks of guilty love;
One for his crimes the City sought
The other Formiæ, nor shall aught
Those deep-stamped scars remove.   Lustful alike, in learning too
They dabble, one could never view
Such a well-mated pair,
The other neither can excel
In vices which both love so well,
Rivals of maidens fair!
