英语美文背诵 The Comparison

（单词翻译）

The Comparison by Catullus translated by John Lam

The crowd of beauteous Quintia Prate¹:

To me she is but fair and straight;

So far I can comply.

Those stated charms her form displays;

But still the full, the general praise,

Of beauteous I deny.

No grain of sprightliness² or grace

In all her lofty form we trace.

I Lesbia beauteous call;

Who, stealing from the lovely host

The separate charms each fair could boast,

Herself united all.
