Est homini, cum se cogitat esse pium, | 48,323 |
Nec sanctam violasse fidem, nec foedere in ullo | 48,323 |
Divum ad fallendos numine abusum homines, etc. | 48,323 |
Another, and less admirable, side of the nature of Catullus is | 48,323 |
Quis hoc potest videre, quis potest pati. | 48,323 |
Nisi impudicus et vorax et aleo, etc.-- | 48,323 |
and in the less vigorous but much more offensive 57th poem. | 48,323 |
Catullus in these poems expresses the animosity which the 'boni' | 48,323 |
Et ille nunc superbus et superfluens | 48,323 |
Perambulabit omnium cubilia, etc. | 48,323 |
Irascere iterum meis iambis | 48,323 |
Inmerentibus, unice imperator,-- | 48,323 |
Nam castum esse decet pium poetam | 48,323 |
Ipsum, versiculos nihil necesse est. | 48,323 |
language. | 48,323 |
O Colonia, quae cupis ponte ludere magno,-- | 48,323 |
which has some touches of graceful poetry as well as of humourous | 48,323 |
Quoi cum sit viridissimo nupta flore puella | 48,323 |
(Et puella tenellulo delicatior haedo, | 48,323 |
Asservanda nigerrimis diligentius uvis),-- | 48,323 |
Munus hoc mihi maximi da, Colonia, risus-- | 48,323 |
Chommoda dicebat, si quando commoda vellet | 48,323 |
Dicere, et insidias Arrius hinsidias, etc. | 48,323 |
Just as the ears of men had recovered from this infliction-- | 48,323 |
Subito affertur nuntius horribilis, | 48,323 |
Ionios fluctus, postquam illuc Arrius isset, | 48,323 |
Iam non Ionios esse, sed Hionios. | 48,323 |
Like fastidious and irritable poets of other times (Horace, Pope, | 48,323 |
Dii magni, horribilem ac sacrum libellum. | 48,323 |
friends, who, though in other respects a man of sense, wit, and | 48,323 |
Plenam veneni et pestilentiae. | 48,323 |
About one half of the shorter poems, and more than half of the | 48,323 |
epigrams, are to be classed among his personal lampoons or light | 48,323 |
satiric pieces. Many of these show Catullus to us on that side of | 48,323 |
Iam ver egelidos refert tepores,-- | 48,323 |
Phaselus ille quem videtis, hospites,-- | 48,323 |
Iam mens praetrepidans avet vagari, | 48,323 |
with which a cultivated mind forecasts the pleasure of travelling | 48,323 |
Aut quam sidera multa, cum facet nox, | 48,323 |
Furtivos hominum vident amores,-- | 48,323 |
Velut prati | 48,323 |
Ultimi flos, praetereunte postquam | 48,323 |
Tactus aratro est;-- | 48,323 |
Nec sapit pueri instar | 48,323 |
Bimuli, tremula patris dormientis in ulna,-- | 48,323 |
Et puella tenellulo delicatior haedo, | 48,323 |
Adservanda nigerrimis diligentius uvis. | 48,323 |
But the great charm of the style in these shorter poems is its | 48,323 |
Miser Catulle desinas ineptire,-- | 48,323 |
Vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus,-- | 48,323 |
Acmen Septimius suos amores,-- | 48,323 |
Verani, omnibus e meis amicis,-- | 48,323 |
Iam ver egelidos refert tepores,-- | 48,323 |
Paene insularum Sirmio insularumque,-- | 48,323 |
Miser Catulle, desinas ineptire,-- | 48,323 |
we apprehend through a perfectly pure medium, and by a single | 48,323 |
Minister vetuli puer Falerni | 48,323 |
Inger mi calices amariores, etc. | 48,323 |
'In profuse strains of unpremeditated art.' | 48,323 |
Ne diu taceat procax | 48,323 |
Fescennina locutio-- | 48,323 |
Quos Hamadryades deae | 48,323 |
Ludicrum sibi roscido | 48,323 |
Nutriunt humore,-- | 48,323 |
Alba parthenice velut | 48,323 |
Luteumve papaver-- | 48,323 |
the symbol of maidens-- | 48,323 |
'Whom youth makes so fair and passion so pale.' | 48,323 |
The grace of trees and the bloom of flowers were prized by him | 48,323 |
among the fairest things in Nature. The charm in woman which most | 48,323 |
the Epithalamium of Peleus and Thetis, he compares Ariadne in her | 48,323 |
Quales Eurotae progignunt flumina myrtos | 48,323 |
Aurave distinctos educit verna colores. | 48,323 |
Viden ut faces | 48,323 |
Splendidas quatiunt comas? | 48,323 |
The two pictures, further on in the poem, of a peaceful old age | 48,323 |
prolonged to the utmost limit of human life-- | 48,323 |
Usque dum tremulum movens | 48,323 |
Cana tempus anilitas | 48,323 |
Omnia omnibus annuit-- | 48,323 |
and of infancy, awakening into consciousness and affection,-- | 48,323 |
Torquatus volo parvulus | 48,323 |
Matris e gremio suae | 48,323 |
Porrigens teneras manus, | 48,323 |
Dulce rideat ad patrem | 48,323 |
Semihiante labello. | 48,323 |
Sit suo similis patri | 48,323 |
Manlio et facile insciis | 48,323 |
Noscitetur ab omnibus, | 48,323 |
Et pudicitiam suae | 48,323 |
Matris indicet ore. | 48,323 |
are drawn with the truest and most delicate hand. | 48,323 |
Idem cum tenui carptus defloruit ungui, | 48,323 |
Nulli illum pueri, nullae optavere puellae,-- | 48,323 |
οἵαν τὰν ὑάκινθον ἐν ὤρεσι ποίμενες ἄνδρες | 48,323 |
πόσσι καταστείβοισι, χάμαι δέ τε πόρφυρον ἄνθος. | 48,323 |
'Grows, lives, and dies in single blessedness;' | 48,323 |
Iam iam contingit summum radice flagellum,-- | 48,323 |
Sed ubi oris aurei Sol radiantibus oculis | 48,323 |
Lustravit aethera album, sola dura, mare ferum, | 48,323 |
