[00:00.09]The Comparison
[00:01.31]by Catullus
[00:02.68]The crowd of beauteous Quintia Prate:
[00:10.22]To me she is but fair and straight;
[00:13.42]So far I can comply.
[00:15.76]Those stated charms her form displays;
[00:19.59]But still the full, the general praise,
[00:22.56]Of beauteous I deny.
[00:24.95]No grain of sprightliness or grace
[00:28.86]In all her lofty form we trace.
[00:31.87]I Lesbia beauteous call;
[00:35.74]Who, stealing from the lovely host
[00:38.64]The separate charms each fair could boast,
[00:41.89]Herself united all.
