Catullus

Summary

Portrait of Catullus Catullus,  Catullus 11

“ Nile colors,
whether (s) he will walk across the high Alps,
gazing upon the monuments of great Caesar,
the Gallic Rhine, the terrifying English Channel,
the most remote Britons,
wherever the will of the heavenly ones brings him (/her) ,
those who are prepared to attempt all these things at once,
[also] announce to my girl a few
not good words.
May she live and may she be well with her 300 adulterers,
whom she holds at the same time in an embrace,
loving none truly, but repeatedly breaking
the loins of all
