WOMAN'S FAITH.
FROM CATULLUS.
"Nulli se dicit mea fœmina nubere malle
Quàm mihi; non si se Jupiter ipse petat.
Dicit: sed mulier cupido quod dicit amanti
In vento, et rapidâ scribere oportet aquâ."
My Mistress tells me oft, that she
Would not prefer Great Jove to me.
She tells me:but I know full well
What women eager lovers tell
Ought to be written on the breeze,
The running streams, and flowing seas.
