Iucundum cum aetas florida ver ageret,
| 48,323 |
Multa satis lusi: non est dea nescia nostri,
| 48,323 |
Quae dulcem curis miscet amaritiem.
| 48,323 |
The early poems there referred to probably gained him his first
| 48,323 |
reputation and attracted that notice of Cornelius Nepos, which is
| 48,323 |
Quoi dono lepidum novum libellum.
| 48,323 |
'Vesper adest: invenes consurgite'--may have been written before
| 48,323 |
Cui faveam potius? Caeli, tibi, nam tua nobis
| 48,323 |
Per facta exhibitas't unica amicitia,
| 48,323 |
Cum vesana meas torreret flamma medullas.
| 48,323 |
that the lady addressed under that name was the notorious Clodia,
| 48,323 |
Splendidaque a docto fama refulget avo.
| 48,323 |
Lesbius est pulcher: quidni? quem Lesbia malit
| 48,323 |
Quam te cum tota gente, Catulle, tua.
| 48,323 |
Ille mi par esse deo videtur;
| 48,323 |
and again
| 48,323 |
Quo mea se molli candida diva pedem
| 48,323 |
That the intrigue was carried on and had even reached its second
| 48,323 |
stage--that of the 'amantium irae'--in the lifetime of Metellus,
| 48,323 |
appears from the 83rd poem,
| 48,323 |
Lesbia mi praesente viro mala plurima dicit, etc.
| 48,323 |
Sed furtiva dedit mira munuscula nocte,
| 48,323 |
Ipsius ex ipso dempta viri gremio--
| 48,323 |
clearly imply that these meetings occurred after the return of
| 48,323 |
Nam unguentum dabo, quod meae puellae
| 48,323 |
Visam te incolumem audiamque Hiberum
| 48,323 |
Narrantem loca, facta, nationes--
| 48,323 |
Macedonia, it seems a not unwarranted conjecture that they were
| 48,323 |
The first hint of any rift in the loves of Catullus and Clodia is
| 48,323 |
Quare, quod scribis Veronae turpe Catullo, etc.
| 48,323 |
Catullus had retired to Verona on hearing of the death of his
| 48,323 |
Etsi me adsiduo confectum cura dolore
| 48,323 |
Sevocat a doctis, Ortale, virginibus, etc.
| 48,323 |
In his letter to Manlius, in which he excuses himself on the same
| 48,323 |
somewhat later to Allius,--
| 48,323 |
Non possum reticere deae qua me Allius in re, etc.--
| 48,323 |
Quae tamen etsi uno non est contenta Catullo
| 48,323 |
Rara verecundae furta feremus erae.
| 48,323 |
tenderness. Afterwards, even though his passion from time to time
| 48,323 |
The poems representing the second and third stage--that in which
| 48,323 |
passion and scorn strive with one another--of the relations to
| 48,323 |
O dulces comitum valete coetus.--
| 48,323 |
Varus me meus ad suos amores
| 48,323 |
Visum duxerat e foro otiosum--
| 48,323 |
Disertissime Romuli nepotum
| 48,323 |
Quot sunt quotque fuere, Marce Tulli--
| 48,323 |
Tanto pessimus omnium poeta
| 48,323 |
Quanto tu optimus omnium patronus--
| 48,323 |
seems to point to some exercise of Cicero's special talent as an
| 48,323 |
The poems written in the two last years of the poet's life do not
| 48,323 |
Maestius lacrimis Simonideis.
| 48,323 |
The lines--
| 48,323 |
Malest, me hercule, et est laboriose,
| 48,323 |
Et magis magis in dies et horas--
| 48,323 |
might well have been drawn from him by the rapid advance of his
| 48,323 |
Peliaco quondam prognatae, etc.--
| 48,323 |
Zymrna mei Cinnae nonam post denique messem
| 48,323 |
Quam coepta'st nonamque edita post hiemem,--
| 48,323 |
Sed postquam tellus scelere est imbuta nefando, etc.--
| 48,323 |
But although longer life might have brought to Catullus a still
| 48,323 |
higher rank among the poets of the world, the chief charm of the
| 48,323 |
poems actually written by him arises from the strength and depth
| 48,323 |
interpreters of Nature and of human life: none have expressed so
| 48,323 |
directly and truthfully the great elemental affections, or have
| 48,323 |
'Odi et amo,' till at last he obtains his emancipation by the
| 48,323 |
Vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus,
| 48,323 |
Quaeris, quot mihi basiationes, etc.,--
| 48,323 |
Miser, Catulle, desinas ineptire--
| 48,323 |
in which he recalls the bright days of the past--
| 48,323 |
Fulsere quondam candidi tibi soles,--
| 48,323 |
wounds, which had been partially healed, had broken out afresh,--
| 48,323 |
Si qua recordanti benefacta priora voluptas, etc.;
| 48,323 |
Furi et Aureli comites Catullo,--
| 48,323 |
in which scornful irony is combined with an imaginative power and
| 48,323 |
Si quicquam mutis gratum acceptumque sepulchris
| 48,323 |
Accidere a nostro Calve dolore potest,
| 48,323 |
Quo desiderio veteres renovamus amores
| 48,323 |
Atque olim missas flemus amicitias
| 48,323 |
Certe non tanto mors immatura dolori est
| 48,323 |
Quintiliae, quantum gaudet amore tuo.
| 48,323 |
Poetae tenero, meo sodali
| 48,323 |
Velim Caecilio papyre dicas,--
| 48,323 |
Venistine domum ad tuos Penates
| 48,323 |
Fratresque unanimos anumque matrem?
| 48,323 |
Venisti. O mihi nuntii beati.
| 48,323 |
Sed contra accipies meros amores
| 48,323 |
Seu quid suavius elegantiusve.
| 48,323 |
Haec amem necessest
| 48,323 |
Ut Veraniolum meum et Fabullum.
| 48,323 |
Certe tute iubebas animam tradere, inique, me
| 48,323 |
Inducens in amorem, quasi tuta omnia mi forent.
| 48,323 |
Inde nunc retrahis te ac tua dicta omnia factaque
| 48,323 |
Ventos irrita ferre ac nebulas aerias sinis.
| 48,323 |
These, and other poems, show that Catullus was quick to feel any
| 48,323 |
coldness or neglect on the part of his friends, and exceedingly
| 48,323 |
dependent for his happiness on their sympathy. But the tone of
| 48,323 |
these poems is quite different from the resentment which he feels
| 48,323 |
Pauca nuntiate meae puellae
| 48,323 |
Non bona dicta.
| 48,323 |
Si qua recordanti benefacta priora voluptas
