Catullus, Carmen VII, ‘Ad Lesbiam’ Quaeris, quot mihi basiationes tuae, Lesbia, sint satis superque. quam magnus numerus Libyssae harenae lasarpiciferis iacet Cyrenis oraclum Iouis inter aestuosi et Batti ueteris sacrum sepulcrum; aut quam sidera multa, cum tacet nox, furtiuos hominum uident amores: tam te basia multa basiare uesano satis et super Catullo est, quae nec pernumerare curiosi possint nec mala fascinare lingua. Jonson, ‘Kisse Me, Sweet’, Workes
