Well thanks for the correction then! As I referenced at the bottom of this post -- this was sent to me by a friend, so I simply copied what was sent into a post and published it. I wasn't familiar with this poem, so I went by what was sent to me. Lit and poetry aren't my area of expertise! But thank you for adding the correct lines and author! :D nina Hi corey,

The attribution is not quite right. It is a Roman poem, by the poet Catullus, for his mistress. It begins: "Vivamus mea Lesbia atque amemus" "Let us live, my Lesbia, also let us love." Campion translated Catullus' works. Great poem. The attribution is not quite right. It is a Roman poem, by the poet Catullus, for his mistress. It begins:

“Vivamus mea Lesbia atque amemus”
