After Valerius Catullus All Hail! young lady with a nose by no means too small, With a foot unbeautiful, and with eyes that are not black, With fingers that are not long, and with a mouth undry, And with a tongue by no means too elegant, You are the friend of Formian*s, the vendor of cosmetics, And they call you beautiful in the province, And you are even compared to Lesbia. O most unfortunate age !
