Gaius Valerius Catullus, 56 "To Cato: A Funny Tale"

Catullus wants Cato to laugh about what Catullus did to someone that was being intimate with his girlfriend.

 

Tier 1

o Cato, est res ridicula et iocosa, digna auribus tuis et tuo cachinno!

 

Cato, ride si amas Catullum:

 

res est ridicula et nimis iocosa.

 

ego modo cepi puerulum meae puellae trusantem penem eius in eam;

 

ego, si placet matri Veneris, petivi hunc puerulum meo peni pro telo.
