section 45 Flashcards
Nemo umquam puer emptus libidinis causa tam fuit in domini potestate quam tu in Curionis.
No boy bought for the sake of pleasure was so at the mercy of his master, than you were to Curio.
Quotiens te pater eius domu sua eiecit, quotiens custodes posuit, ne limen intrares!
How many times has his father thrown you out of his own home, how many times he placed the guards so that you might not enter the doorway.
Quae flagitia domus illa diutius ferre non potuit. Scisne me de rebus mihi notissimis dicere?
That house was not able to bear these disgraces any longer. Do you know that I am speaking about matters very known to me?
Recordare tempus illud, cum pater Curio maerens iacebat in lecto, filius se ad pedes meos prosternens lacrimans te mihi commendabat
Recall that time, when Father Curio was lying in the bed grieving, and the son prostrating himself at my feet crying, was entrusting you to me.
Ipse autem amore ardens confirmabat, quod desiderium tui discidii ferre non posset, se in exilium iturum.
However, he himself, burning with love, assured that he would go into exile because he wasn’t able to bear the desire from separation.
cum tu tamen nocte socia, hortante libidine, cogente mercede, per tegulas demitterere.
Although you would, with night as your ally, driven by lust and forced by profit, be admitted across the tiles.
orabat, ut se contra suum patrem, si sestertium sexagiens peteret, defenderem; tantum enim se pro te intercessisse dicebat.
He begged that I would defend him, against his own father if he asks for six million sesteres; for that much he said that he intervened as a guarantor for you.
