Catullus

Summary

Portrait of Catullus Catullus,  Catullus 99

“ I stole from you, while you were playing, honey-sweet Iuventius,
a kiss more sweet than sweet ambrosia.
Truly I did not lift this unpunished: for such a long hour
I remember that I was crucified on the highest cross,
while I purged myself to you, nor was I able to remove
with any tears so small a quantity of your ferocity.
