Ovid, Tristia 2.427-30
sic sua lasciuo cantata est saepe Catullo
femina, cui falsum Lesbia nomen erat;
nec contentus ea multos uulgauit amores,
in quibus ipse suum fassus adulterium est.
So wanton Catullus often sang of his woman, to whom he gave the false name ‘Lesbia’; and not content with her he broadcast his many love affairs, in which he himself confessed his own adultery.
