Gaius Valerius Catullus, 95 "To Gaius Helvius Cinna: Smyrna"

At last Cinna published Smyrna, the poem he has worked on for a long time.

 

Tier 1

finaliter, mei Cinnae Zmyrna, nomen carminis, quam Cinna novem annos antequam scribere coepit, postquam novem annos Cinna perfecit,

 

interea Hortensius scripsit nimis uno anno…

 

Zmyrna advenit ad fluvium Satrachi, quem carmen celebrat,

 

carmen Zmyrna lecturus est multos annos.

 

sed annales Volusi remanebunt ad Paduam ipsam ubi scripti sunt

 

et annales utentur tenentibus pisces.
