Catullus 13

Question 1

Cenabis bene, mi Fabulle, apud me paucis, si tibi di favent, diebus, si tecum attuleris bonam atque magnam cenam, non sine candida puella et vino et sale et omnibus cachinnis.

Answer 1

My Fabullus, you will dine well at my house in a few days if the gods favor you, if you will have brought with you a good and great dinner not without a bright girl and wine and salt and all the laughters.

Question 2

Haec si, inquam, attuleris, venuste noster, cenabis bene; nam tui Catulli plenus sacculus est aranearum. Sed contra accipies meros amores, seu quid suavius elegantiusve est:

Answer 2

I say if you will have brought these things our charming one, you will dine well, for the small bag of your Catullus is full of cobwebs. But in return you will accept pure loves or what is more pleasant and more elegant:

Question 3

nam unguentum dabo, quod meae puellae donarunt Veneres Cupidinesque; quod tu cum olfacies, deos rogabis totum ut te faciant, Fabulle, nasum.

Answer 3

For I will give a perfume which the Venuses and Cupids gave to my girl and which when you will smell it, you will ask the gods that they make you a whole nose Fabullus.
