CATUL'LUS (Cains Valerius), a poetof Verona, whole 
compolitions, elegant and (imple, are the offspring of a lux¬ 
uriant imagination. He was acquainted with the mod dif- 
.tinguifhed people of his age, and direfted his fatire againd 
Gar far, whole only revenge was to invite the poet to a 
good fupper. Catullus was the fird Roman, who imi¬ 
tated with fuccels the Greek writers, and introduced their 
numbers among the Latins.. Though the pages of the 
poet are occado.nally disfigured with licentious expref- 
doF.s, the whole is written with great purity of dile. Ca¬ 
tullus died in the 46th year of his age, B.C. 40. The bed

CATZ (James), an eminent civilian, politician, and 
Dutch poet, born at Browerfhavcn, in Zealand, in 1577. 
After having made (event! voyages, lie fixed at Micldle- 
burg; and acquired by his pleadings fuch reputation, that 
the. city of Dort cltole him for its penlionary ; as did alfo 
that oi Middleburg. In 1634, he was nominated pen- 
fioimry of Holland and Weft Friefland ; and, in 1648, he 
was elecled keeper of the feal of the fame (late, and fkidt- 
holder of the fiefs: but, fume time after, he refigned 
thefe employments, to enjoy the repofe which his ad¬ 
vanced age demanded. As the poll of grand penflonary 
had been fatal to thofe who had enjoyed it, from the be¬ 
ginning of the republic till that time, Catz delivered up 
his charge on his knees, before the whole afleihbly of the 
ftates, weeping for joy, and thanking God for having pre- 
ferved him from the inconveniences that feemed attached 
to the duties of that office. But, though he was refolved 
to fpend the reft of his days in repofe, the love of his 
country engaged him to comply with the defires of the 
date, who importuned him to go on an embaffy to England, 
in the delicate conjttnfture in which the republic found 
itfelf during the proteftorate of Cromwell. At his return, 
he retired to his country-feat at Surgvliet, where he lived 
in tranquility till 1660, in which year he died. He wrote 
a great number of poems in Dutch ; mod of which are on 
moral fubjedis, and fo efteemed, that they have been often 
printed in different ftzes ; and, next to the Bible, there is 
no work fo highly valued by the Dutch.
