Gaius Valerius Catullus, 107 "To Lesbia: Back so soon!"

Lesbia unexpectedly returns to an eager Catullus

 

Tier 1

si aliquid umquam factum est viro cupido et optanti sed insperanti, hoc est valde gratum animo.

 

itaque hoc est gratum mihi et carius auro quia tu te restituis mihi cupido, Lesbia.

 

restituis te cupido atque insperanti, tu ipsa te refers mihi cupido, Lesbia.

 

o diem candidiore nota! quis laetior quam ego vivit?

 

aut quis poterit dicere aliquid magis optandus est hac vita.
