Gaius Valerius Catullus, 100 "To Marcus Caelius: The Competition"

Caelius and Quintius are competing for love; Catullus is in Caelius’ corner.

 

Tier 1

flos Veronensum pueri, Caelius amat Aufillenam et Quintius amat Aufillenum,

 

hic fratrem amat, ille sororem. hoc vere est id quod vocant fraternitas.

 

quem superesse volo? Caeli, te: nam ego te solum vidi

 

cum insana flamma amoris me caperet.

 

sis laetus, Caeli, sis potens in amore.
