This line is quoted as Catullus's by Porphyrion on Hor. c. I. 1 6,

with the last lines of this poem, Irascere iterum meis iambis

belong here. See my large edition, p. 217, fragm. I. The fol-

This is the only instance where Catullus has introduced a
spondee into the second foot of the phalaecian, which then be-
comes decasyllabic. The alternation of this decasyllabic rhythm
with the ordinary hendecasyllable is studiously artistic ; I have
retained it throughout. In the series of dactylic lines 17 22,
Catullus no doubt intended to convey the idea of rapidity, as, in
the spondaic line immediately following, of labour.

In the rhythm of this poem, I have been obliged to deviate in
two points from Catullus, (i) In him the first foot of each line
is nearly always a trochee, only rarely a spondee : the monoto-
nous effect of a positional trochee in English, to say nothing of
the difficulty, induced me to substitute a spondee more frequently.
(2) I have been rather less scrupulous in allowing the last foot
of the glyconic lines to be a dactyl (---), in place of the more
correct cretic (--).

Opinion. Look how a flower that close in closes grows,
Hid from rude cattle, bruised with no ploughs,
Which th' air doth stroke, sun strengthen, showers shoot higher,
It many youths and many maids desire ;
The same, when cropt by cruel hand 'tis wither'd,
No youths at all, no maidens have desired ;
So a virgin while untouch'd she doth remain
Is dear to hers ; but when with body's stain
Her chaster flower is lost, she leaves to appear
Or sweet to young men or to maidens dear.
Truth, Virgins, O Virgins, to sweet Hymen yield,
For as a lone vine in a naked field
Never extols her branches, never bears
Ripe grapes, but with a headlong heaviness wears
Her tender body, and her highest sprout
Is quickly levell'd with her fading root ;

But if by fortune she be married well,
To the elm her husband, many husbandmen
And many youths inhabit by her then ;
So whilst a virgin doth untouch'd abide,

In the metre of this poem Catullus observes the following
general type
Uu- uJU ~- (so Heyse. )
Except in 1 8, Hilarate acre citatis erroribus animum, 53, Et
earum omnia adirem furibunda latibula, where 'the Ionic a
minore, which seems to have been the original basis of the
rhythm, is preserved intact in the former half of the line. I
have followed Catullus generally with exactness, but with an
occasional resolution of one long into two short syllables, where
it has not been introduced by the poet, e. g. in 31, 34, 49, 64,
65, 68, 79. In v. 10 I have ventured on a license which
Catullus does not admit, but which is, I think, justified by
other and earlier specimens of the metre, an anaclasis of the
original Ionic a minore at the end of the line. In reading this
poem it should never be forgotten that there is a pause in the
middle of each line, which practically divides it into two halves.
Tennyson, in his Boadicea, written on the model of the Attis,
divides each verse similarly in the middle ; but in the first half
he has changed the rhythm of Catullus to a trochaic rhythm, in

the second, while producing much of the effect of the Atlis by
the accumulation of short syllables at the end of the line, he
has not bound himself to the same strictly denned feet as Catul-
lus, and generally has preferred to take from the somewhat
emasculate character of the verse by adding an unaccented syl-
lable at the close.

LXX.
Sir Philip Sidney thus translates this poem :
Unto no body my woman saith shee had rather a wife be,
Then . to myself, not though Jove grew a suter of hers.

Midde [windes ? ] or waters stream do require to be writ.
XCIX. 10.
Fricatrice.
To a lewd harlot, a base fricatrice.
BEN JONSON, The Fox, iv. 2.
