Catullus+70


 * Catullus 70**

//My woman says that she prefers to marry no one//
 * Nulli se dicit mulier mea nubere malle**

//than me, not if Jupiter himself should seek her.//
 * quam mihi, non si se Iuppiter ipse petat.**

//She says this, but what a woman says to a desiring lover,//
 * dicit; sed mulier cupido quod dicit amanti,**

//one ought to write on the wind and the swiftly moving water.//
 * in vento et rapida scribere oportet aqua.**
