Elegiac Couplets

Literal English Translation	Original Latin	Line
Often searching for you with a studious, hunting mind   so that I could send the poems of Battus whereby I should appease you, nor you try   to send hostile spears right into my head; I now see that this labor undertaken by me is in vain,   O Gellius, nor that my prayers have prevailed in this. I'll escape those your hostile spears driven against us,   but you, pierced, will give me compensation.	Saepe tibi studioso animo venante requirens   carmina uti possem mittere Battiadae, qui te lenirem nobis, neu conarere   tela infesta meum mittere in usque caput, hunc video mihi nunc frustrā sumptum esse laborem,   Gelli, nec nostras hic ualuisse preces. contra nos tela ista tua evitabimus acta:   at fixus nostris tu dabis supplicium.	116.1 116.2 116.3 116.4 116.5 116.6 116.7 116.8
