C. Valerius Catullus, Carmen 107: To Lesbia: Back so soon!

Catullus speaks to Lesbia about her return to him.

 

Tier 1

sī [ali]quid umquam factum est virō cupidō et optantī sed īnspērantī, hoc est valdē grātum animō.

 

itaque hoc est grātum mihi et cārius aurō quia tū tē restituis mihi cupidō, Lesbia.

 

restituis tē cupidō atque īnspērantī, tū ipsa tē refers mihi cupidō, Lesbia.

 

ō diem candidiōre notā! quis laetior quam ego vīvit?

 

aut quis poterit dīcere aliquid magis optandum esse hāc vītā?
