Catullus 52→

Literal English Translation	Original Latin	Line
That man seems to be equal to a god to me. That man, if it is right, [seems] to surpass the gods [He] who sitting across from you Repeatedly watches and listens to you laughing sweetly, which snatches away all sense from wretched me for as soon as I have seen you, Lesbia, nothing remains for me (of my voice in my mouth) But my tongue is stiff, A thin flame goes down under my weak limbs, My ears ring with their own sound, My lights are covered by twin night. Leisure, Catullus, is trouble for you: In leisure exult and run riot excessively: Leisure has destroyed kings before And blessed cities.	Ille mi par esse deo videtur, Ille, si fas est, superare diuos, Qui sedens adversus identidem te           Spectat et audit Dulce ridentem, misero quod omnis Eripit sensus mihi: nam simul te, Lesbia, adspexi, nihil est super mi          (Vocis in ore) Lingua sed torpet, tenuis sub artus Flamma demanat, sonitu suopte Tintinant aures, gemina teguntur           Lumina nocte. Otium, Catulle, tibi molestum est: Otio exsultas nimiumque gestis. Otium et reges prius et beatas           Perdidit urbes.	51.1 51.2 51.3 51.4 51.5 51.6 51.7 51.8 51.9 51.10 51.11 51.12 51.13 51.14 51.15 51.16
