Fulsere quondam candidi tibi soles, cum ventitabas quo puella ducebat amata nobis quantum amabitur nulla. Ibi illa multa cum iocosa fiebant, quae tu volebas nec puella nolebat, fulsere vere candidi tibi soles. Nunc iam illa non vult: tu quoque impotens noli, nec quae fugit sectare, nec miser vive, sed obstinata mente perfer, obdura. Vale puella, iam Catullus obdurat, nec te requiret nec rogabit invitam. At tu dolebis, cum rogaberis nulla. Scelesta, uae te, quae tibi manet vita? Quis nunc te adibit? cui videberis bella? Quem nunc amabis? Cuius esse diceris? Quem basiabis? Cui labella mordebis? At tu, Catulle, destinatus obdura. English Translation Miserable Catullus, stop being inept, and that which you see to have perished and that which you lead to destruction. Bright suns formerly glittered for you, when you came often to where the girl was leading—beloved by us as no girl will be loved. There were many playful experiences, which you wanted and the girl did not not want: truly bright suns glittered for you. But now she does not want them; you also, don't be impotent, and don't follow she who flees, nor live miserably, but remain of strong mind, and be strong. Goodbye, girl. Now Catullus is strong, and he neither requires you nor will ask for an inviatation. But you will be sad, when nobody will have asked. Woe to you, wicked one! Which life will stay with you? Who now will go to you? To whom will you seem beautiful? Whom will you now love? Whose will you be said to be? Whom will you kiss? Whose lips will you nibble? But you, Catullus, remain strong.

Go to Text for HS use. Go to The Plain Text in original order. Go to Text in Chapters without comment. Return to Main index CATULLI CARMINA Text with comments THE LOVE POEMS These two lovely little "Sparrow Poems" combine a vignette of a lady playing with her pet bird, combined with the poet's envy of the pet and his covert desire to be there in her lap instead. Sir Paul Harvey maintained that "it was probably not the sparrow but the blue thrush often seen at the present day in Italian bird cages". In any case it is a singing bird (pipiabat), and a delicate little poem to suit, much admired and imitated for the last five centuries. Passer, deliciae meae puellae, quicum ludere, quem in sinu tenere, cui primum digitum dare appetenti et acris solet incitare morsus, cum desiderio meo nitenti carum nescio quid lubet iocari et solaciolum sui doloris, credo ut tum grauis acquiescat ardor: tecum ludere sicut ipsa possem et tristis animi leuare curas! 2 b This is an odd fragment, apparently the poet is thinking of the foot race of Atalanta and the apples given by Aphrodite to Milanion. One of the MSS has a marginal gloss "erat: negatam", perhaps thought of an earlier reading changed, but meaning is the same. It must be just the thought of undressing a woman that is pleasing Catullus so greatly! Tam gratum est mihi quam ferunt puellae pernici aureolum fuisse malum

" Catullus Poems Catullus Biography Little about Catullus's life is known for sure. Most ancient sources, including Suetonius and the poet Ovid (Amores III.XV), agree that he was born in or near Verona. His was part of a leading equestrian family from Verona, but he lived in Rome most of his life. Catullus's well-to-do family owned a villa at Sirmio, and his father entertained Caesar, then governor of Gaul. Catullus's friends included the poets C. Licinius Macer Calvus, Furius Bibaculus, and C. Helvius Cinna; the orator Q. Hortensius (a rival of Cicero in the law courts) and the biographer Cornelius Nepos, to whom Catullus' book of poems is dedicated. In 61 BC, Catullus went to Rome where, he met and fell in love with Clodia, the "Lesbia" of the poems. This sophisticated woman, 10 years older than Catullus, was the wife of Metellus Celer and a member of the Claudian family, an old aristocratic line. The poet and the aristocrat had a brief affair which ended when Clodia replaced him with Caelius Rufus, part of Catullus' social set and an associate of Cicero. In 57 BC, he accompanied his friend Memmius to Bithynia, where Memmius had received a propraetor's post. This position on the staff of the governor of Bithynia was Catullus' only political office. While in the East, Catullus traveled to the Troad to perform rites at his brother's tomb, an event recorded in a moving poem.

He is widely read today and appreciated mostly by second year Latin students wanting to learn to say really filthy things. Contents Life Lover Poetry Influence in Popular Culture ... edit Life Catullus moved to Rome and immediately fell in love with a woman whom he referred to in verse as Lesbia , as he had been an admirer of the Lesbian Sappho. He died at the age of thirty, having worn himself out with lasciviousness, indulgence, and overemotionality. edit Lover The true name of Catullus's lover, as identified by Cicero , was Medea Palatii. She was widely regarded during her own time as flagrant, loose, scandalous, and quite fond of her brother in the most improper of ways. However, as she was a lesbian , the accusations of incest with her brother must surely have been fabrications, likely by Catullus himself in a moment of jealous spite. Some debate which one (brother or sister) was the focus of his jealousy. "Let us live and love Clodius-Clodia-I-don't-care-which, or I'll nod to Venus and hump whoever has their bum the highest. And if you don't let me in, I'll have to sit on your dead pet sparrow (Pity it's only able to wiggle on the way to Hades, and not here and now.)" -Catullus LIX, lines 1-4

Catullus From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Cattle) Next (Caucasus Mountains) Gaius Valerius Catullus (ca. 84 B.C.E. – ca. 54 B.C.E. ) was one of the most influential Roman poets of the first century B.C.E. Catullus is easily the most talented lyric poet in Roman literature, but his works were very controversial in his own times, remaining clouded over by controversy throughout the Middle Ages . Catullus subscribed to Epicurean philosophy, and his poetry, in keeping with his Epicurean beliefs, deals rather explicitly with amorous love. Moreover, Catullus fiercely criticized the political and military leaders of his generation; he openly mocked the epic style of ancient poetry, criticizing even Homer as overblown, concerned exclusively with battles and wars, and never paying any attention to the things that mattered to ordinary people. Catullus was one of the earliest poets in the history of Western literature who wrote poetry on a personal basis, focused on themes of love, family, and emotions rather than on heroes and gods. For these reasons Catullus was labeled an "immoral poet" by a number of critics; he was barred from the Latin

The other member of the triad, Gaius Licinius Macer Calvus, one of the most brilliant men of his time, was too deeply plunged in politics to be more than an accomplished amateur in poetry. Yet it must have been more than his intimate friendship with Catullus, and their common fate of too early a death, that made the two names so constantly coupled afterwards. By the critics of the Silver Age, no less than by Horace and Propertius, the same idea is frequently repeated, which has its best-known expression in Ovid's beautiful invocation in his elegy on Tibullus Obvius huic venias, hedera iuvenilia cinctus

Slavery Roman Literature: Writers Latin Language Latin Alphabet Catullus and the Neoteroi Gaius Valerius Catullus lived in interesting times. Born around 84 BCE and deceased sometime after 55 BCE (both dates as best as scholars can determine), those three decades witnessed the upheaval of the Republic in a political sense. For Catullus' childhood saw the dictatorship of Sulla and its proscriptions, and his death occurred at the height of the first Triumvirate. The groundwork had been lain for the subsequent civil wars that would end with empire and pseudo-monarchy. But Catullus was not especially a creature of war and politics - and this fact alone ushered in a new era of Roman culture. Catullus himself helped inaugurate the death and rebirth of old Roman culture under the auspices of increasing Hellenization. Catullus was the son of a landed family from the provinces - in his case Verona in the Venetian lands of Cisalpine Gaul. Perhaps of Illyrian extraction, the Veneti lived a life of commerce and horse breeding on fertile plains. They resisted both Celts and Etruscans to become a staunch ally of Rome against Gaul and Carthage. By 89 BCE they likely had Latin rights and would receive full citizenship a generation later. Catullus' father was apparently a wealthy enough local aristocrat to entertain Julius Caesar. But the young poet did not care to entreat the future dictator, whom he found arrogant and contemptuous. Catullus would take occasional snipes at Caesar and his henchmen:
