</smaller></fontfamily>Now I'm *really* getting confused.  Again,
that's assonance, not "rhyme"

(which refers to line ends).  But, in any case, how could Catullus be

"writing obscenities that...rhyme" when the "rhyming" in question
involves

the un-obscene names "Aureli" and "Furi"?


Speaking of rhymes, Michael J. Smith's rhyming version is impressive,

I'd say.
