This poet wrote about the self-mutilation of the frenzied Attis, a priest of Cybele, in a poem written in the rare galliambic meter. This poet claimed that the words of a woman should be written on the wind and running water in one poem, and he began one of his elegiac couplets with the phrase "I hate and I love." His works were preserved in the manuscript Codex Romanus and are collected in the Carminia. In another poem he references a night of never ending sleep before asking for a thousand kisses, then a hundred, then another thousand. He vulgarly assaulted his critics in his censored "Carmen 16" and coined the phrase ave atque vale in a poem written after the death of his brother. For 10 points, name this elegiac Roman poet of many poems to Lesbia.
