Catullus+60


 * Catullus 60**

//Surely a lioness from the Libyan mountains//
 * Num te leaena montibus Libystinis**

//or Scylla barking from the lowest part of her loins//
 * aut Scylla latrans infima inguinum parte**

//did not give birth to you with such a rough and cruel mind.// "did not" from "num"
 * tam mente dura procreavit ac taetra**

//so that you have would have a disregarding voice in the greatest misfortune of the supplicant,//
 * ut supplicis vocem in novissimo casu**

//Alas! (you) with an excessively cruel heart?// ~Book says fero corde is dependent on the implied vocative but I think it makes sense without. "So that you, in the greatest misfortune of the supplicant, would have a disregarding voice with, alas, an excessively cruel heart"
 * contemptam haberes, a nimis fero corde?**
