Translation:Catullus 83

by Catullus

Literal English Translation	Original Latin	Line
Lesbia says many bad [things] to me in the presence of her husband: this [ridicule] is the greatest joy for that fool. Mule, do you understand nothing? If she, having forgotten of us, were being silent, she would be well-behaved: but now she snarls and interrupts me, she not only remembers, but a thing which is much sharper, she is angry. That is, she is burned up [with passion] and speaks.	Lesbia mī praesente virō mala plūrima dīcit: haec illī fatuō maxima laetitia est. Mūle, nihil sentīs? Sī nostrī oblīta tacēret, sāna esset: nunc quod gannit et obloquitur, nōn sōlum meminit, sed, quae multo ācrior est rēs, īrāta est. Hoc est, ūritur et loquitur.	1 2 3 4 5 6
