Catullus 58
by Catullus, translated from Latin by Wikisource

"An angry lament for a wayward Lesbia, clearly relevant to the Ōdī et Amō theme that is prominent in the Lesbia poems. The tone of bitter disillusionment and the poet's reference to himself in the third person invite comparison with poem 11." (Garrison, 2004). Hendecasyllabics.

Caelius, our Lesbia, that Lesbia, that Lesbia, alone whom Catullus loved more than himself and all his own, now, in the crossroads and in the alleyways, she shucks the grandsons of noble Remus	Caelī, Lesbia nostra, Lesbia illa, illa Lesbia, quam Catullus ūnam plūs quam sē atque suōs amāvit omnēs, nunc in quadriviīs et angiportīs glūbit magnanimī Remī nepōtēs.	58.1 58.2 58.3 58.4 58.5
