Catullus 40 Flashcards
1
Q
Quaenam te mala mens, miselle Ravide, agit praecipitem in meos iambos? Quis deus tibi non bene advocatus vecordem parat excitare rixam?
A
Wretched little Raudus what evil mind drives you headlong into my iambs? What God not having been well summoned by you has stirred up a mad fight?

Q
An ut pervenias in ora vulgi? Quis vis? Qualubet esse notus optas? Eris, quandoquidem meos amores cum longa voluisti amare poena.
A
But you arrive on the mouth of the crowd? What do you want? Do you desire to be known by any road? You will be since you wanted to love my loves with a long punishment.
