Catullus+46


 * Catullus 46**

//Now spring brings back unchilled [warm] warmths//
 * Iam ver egelidos refert tepores,**

//Now the frenzy of equinotical sky//
 * iam caeli furor aequinoctialis**

//quiets down with the playful breezes of the Zephyr//
 * iucundis Zephyri silescit auris.**

//Oh Catullus, let the Phrygian plains// //be left behind// - linquantur = reliquantur - present passive subjunctive - hortatory
 * Linquantur Phrygii, Catulle, campi**

//And the rich field of Nicaea//
 * Nicaeaeque ager uber aestuosae:**

//Let us fly to the famous cities of Asia.//
 * ad claras Asiae volemus urbes.**

//Now the troubling mind longs to wander,//
 * iam mens praetrepidans avet vagari,**

//Now the happy feet come alive with desire.//
 * iam laeti studio pedes vigescunt.**

//Good-Bye Oh sweet groups of companians,//
 * o dulces comitum valete coetus,**

//whom, having set out together far from home//, - profectos - perfect active participle - deponent - goes with quos
 * longe quos simul a domo profectos**

//different roads bring back in different ways.//
 * diversae varie viae reportant.**
