ON CATULLUS by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

Poet Analysis

First Line: TELL ME NOT WHAT TOO WELL I KNOW
Last Line: WITH NECTAR, AND RUNS ON.
Subject(s): CATULLUS, GAIUS VALERIUS (84-54 B.C.);
TELL me not what too well I know
About the bard of Sirmio.
Yes, in Thalia's son
Such stains there are -- as when a Grace
Sprinkles another's laughing face
With nectar, and runs on.
