Catullus - Stewart - Selections |

You see how amber through the streams
More gently strokes the sight,
With some conceal'd delight,
Than when he darts his radiant beams
Into the

Doth all at once impair,
Or set it little forth.

other fruit, they say, bear thirteen times in the year, for in the
month called Minous they bear twice.
