from A Version of Catullus LXIV

Pride tearing and no love light us, soul and no soul protect you,
now parted a grave sea's plighting him King in the waves undoes:
new life forgot rotted o new love's hopes, o mean and mute here
all meaner sound desért here, ostent in death o mean late tomb. 
Known to my end teem in me languish scant lumina mortal
new Prayer as I face so sick the end corporal senses,
qualm Justice and Wisdom expose come prove that hate wilt him,
Guileless Dooming feed me past raving come pray care an hour. 
     Harrow fated virulent taunting vindictive, pain ah
Eumenides, keen whose snake anguished crowns wreathed in your hair billow,
frenzies expiring breaths preordained packed hearts and ires,
hook hook on to me till my cries are heeded, querulous,
waste I go aie misery the streams which pour from my heart dull wails
go goring hopes, ardent eyes madden cark and fear horror. 
Quick on my way right, now sundered, the truth deep in me,
wish no love I part with, no sorrow vanished, scour look Doom!

– Celia and Louis Zukofsky (1969)
