Catullus 30

Question 1

Alfene immemor atque unanimis false sodalibus, iam te nil miseret, dure, tui dulcis amiculi? Iam me prodere, iam non dubitas fallere, perfide?

Answer 1

Alfenus, unmindful and false to your single-souled companion, now, harsh one do you not pity your sweet little friend? Treacherous one, do you not hesitate to betray me and now do not hesitate to deceive me?

Question 2

Nec facta impia fallacum hominum caelicolis placent. Quae tu neglegis ac me miserum deseris in malis. Eheu quid faciant, dic, homines cuive habeant fidem?

Answer 2

The unholy deeds of deceitful men do not please the gods which you neglect and you desert miserable me in evils. Alas, say what do men do or in whom do they have faith?

Question 3

Certe tute iubebas animam tradere, inique, me inducens in amorem, quasi tuta omnia mi forent. Idem nunc retrahis te ac tua dicta omnia factaque ventos irrita ferre ac nebulas aereas sinis.

Answer 3

Certainly you were ordering me to handover my soul, treacherous one, leading me into love as if all things would be safe for me. Now the same you, drag yourself back and you allow the winds and lofty clouds to carry away your words and deeds, empty.

Question 4

Si tu oblitus es, at di meminerunt, meminit Fides, quae te ut paeniteat postmodo facti faciet tui.

Answer 4

If you have forgotten, but the gods remember, Fate remembers, who will make you regret for your deed afterwards.
