Translation	Original Latin	Line
O, Cato, what an absurdly funny thing, worthy for you to hear and laugh at! Laugh, as much as you love Catullus, Cato. The thing is too absurd and funny. I just found a young boy having sex with a girl: May it please Diona, I attacked him with my rigid thing, using it as a spear.	O rem ridiculam, Cato, et iocosam Dignamque auribus et tuo cachinno. Ride, quidquid amas, Cato, Catullum: Res est ridicula et nimis iocosa. Deprendi modo pupulum puellae Trusantem: hunc ego, si placet Dionae, Pro telo rigida mea cecidi.	56.1 56.2 56.3 56.4 56.5 56.6 56.7
