“Fickle and Changeable Ever”

By Gaius Valerius Catullus (c. 84–c. 54 B.C.)

NEVER a soul but myself, though Jove himself were to woo her,

Lesbia says she would choose, might she have me for her mate.

Says—but what woman will say to a lover on fire to possess her,

Write on the bodiless wind, write on the stream as it runs.
