 |  |  |  | Hyperbole has no plural in English. Therefore, you should be asking: 
 "Can someone give specific lines where hyperbole occurs in a poem by Catullus?"
 
 Secondly, Garrison's edition doesn't give any specific examples, and I don't feel like hunting them down, so I'm afraid not.

 |  |  |  | If you take a look at 69 Catullus makes a great hyperbole about the smell, the lines might not be perfect, but try lines 6-9. |  |  |
