And though my passion's livelier And fiercer grown.
More vile and worthless you appear- The wrong you've done May make Desire to wanton freer, But lays Love prone.
121 LXXXVII AND LXXV Such love as woman never won Was, Lesbia ! mine for thee ; Such truth as never league had known Thy love had found in me.
My heart, by falseness now repelled Yet vain with passion strives ; Turn honest, yet esteem were killed, Be vile, yet love survives.
122 Catullus then cries out upon ingratitude : 123 LXXIII O...f man no longer seek to merit well, Nor dream that faith may faithfulness compel !
The world is thankless ; favours past are vain, Nay, are a growing burden and a bane.
Thus no one shows me deadlier hate than he Who lately stood all friendless but for me !
124 The next two poems show him resenting the neglect or the falseness of friends in his adversity : I2S XXXVIII 111 times for your Catullus, friend, 111 times and hard, nor like to mend ; Nay, worse and worse each day and hour !
And yet — how easily in your power !
