C. Valerius Catullus, Carmen 68.27–32

Catullus responds to a remark in Manius's letter about his staying at Verona, his home town.

 

Tier 1

scrībis: 'Catullō Vērōnae manēre turpe est, quia hīc quisque vir bonus sōlus dormit.' hoc, Mānī, turpe nōn est; sed miserum est.

 

dolor ea dōna mihi abstulit quae tibi dare dēbeō. nōn possum ea tibi dare. nōlī mihi īrātus esse.
