TO PORCIUS AND SOCRATION

Porcius and Socration, pair sinister
Of Piso, scabs and starvelings of the world,
You to Fabúllus and my Verianiólus,
Hath dared yon snipt Priapus to prefer?
Upon rich banquets sumptuously spread
Still gorge you daily while my comrades must
Go seek invitals where the three roads fork?
Catullus. Carmina. Sir Richard Francis Burton. trans. London. For translator for private use. 1894.
