Note 110 — HERO AND LEANDER. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Former editors have not noticed that Chapman is here closely imitating Catullus' Carmen Nuptiale—
"Virginitas non tota tua est: ex parte parentum est: Tertia pars patri data, pars data tertia matri, Tertia sola tua est: noli pugnare duobus, Qui genero sua jura simul cum dote dederunt."
