Robinson Ellis - Catullus (Part LXXXIV) lyrics

Stipends Arrius ever on opportunity shtipends, Ambush as hambush still Arrius used to declaim. Then, hoped fondly the words were a marvel of articulation, While with an h immense 'hambush' arose from his heart. So his mother of old, so e'en spoke Liber his uncle, Credibly; so grandsire, grandam alike did agree. Syria took him away; all ears had rest for a moment; Lightly the lips those words, slightly could utter again. None was afraid any more of a sound so clumsy returning; Sudden a solemn fright seized us, a message arrives. 'News from Ionia country; the sea, since Arrius enter'd, Changed; 'twas Ionian once, now 'twas Hionian all.'
