CATULLUS CONCERNING HIS VILLA.

Furius! our Villa never Austral force

Broke, neither set thereon Favonius' course,

Nor savage Boreas, nor Epeliot's strain,

But fifteen thousand crowns and hundreds twain

Wreckt it,--Oh ruinous by-wind, breezy bane! 5

Furius, our villa not 'gainst the southern breeze is pitted nor the western

wind nor cruel Boreas nor sunny east, but sesterces fifteen thousand two

hundred oppose it. O horrible and baleful draught.
