" #Catullus 16 or Carmen 16 is a poem by #GaiusValerius Catullus (c. 84 BC – c. 54 BC). The poem, written in a #hendecasyllabic (11-syllable) meter, was considered to be so #SexuallyExplicit following its rediscovery in the following centuries that a full English translation was not published until the 20th century."

#Catullus resources: some links that might be useful for those using the Bloomsbury/OCR edition - largely literalish translations and YouTube expositions. http://wp.me/pBfTB-2QV
