Catullus 96

Catullus 96 (Wikisource translation)
by Catullus

One of Catullus's several poems addressed to his friend Calvus and concerns the death of his wife or mistress. Elegiac Couplet.

Literal English Translation	Original Latin	Line
If anything pleasing or acceptable to silent sepulchers is able to be done by our grief, Calvus, by this longing we renew old loves and we lament sent away friendships. Certainly a premature death is not of such sadness to Quintilia, so much as she rejoices in your love.	Si quicquam mutis gratum acceptumque sepulcris accidere a nostro, Calve, dolore potest, quo desiderio veteres renovamus amores atque olim missas flemus amicitias, certe non tanto mors immatura dolori est Quintiliae, quantum gaudet amore tuo.	96.1 96.2 96.3 96.4 96.5 96.6
