Varus me meus ad suos amores
\nuisum duxerat e foro otiosum,
\nscortillum, ut mihi tum repente uisum est,
\nnon sane illepidum neque inuenustum,
\nhuc ut uenimus, incidere nobis
\nsermones uarii, in quibus, quid esset
\niam Bithynia, quo modo se haberet,
\net quonam mihi profuisset aere.
\nrespondi id quod erat, nihil neque ipsis
\nnec praetoribus esse nec cohorti,
\ncur quisquam caput unctius referret,
\npraesertim quibus esset irrumator
\npraetor, nec faceret pili cohortem.
\n‘at certe tamen,’ inquiunt ‘quod illic
\nnatum dicitur esse, comparasti
\nad lecticam homines.’ ego, ut puellae
\nunum me facerem beatiorem,
\n‘non’ inquam ‘mihi tam fuit maligne
\nut, prouincia quod mala incidisset,
\nnon possem octo homines parare rectos.’
\nat mi nullus erat nec hic neque illic
\nfractum qui ueteris pedem grabati
\nin collo sibi collocare posset.
\nhic illa, ut decuit cinaediorem,
\n‘quaeso’ inquit ‘mihi, mi Catulle, paulum
\nistos commoda: nam uolo ad Serapim
\ndeferri.’ ‘mane’ inquii puellae,
\n‘istud quod modo dixeram me habere,
\nfugit me ratio: meus sodalis\u2014
\nCinna est Gaius\u2014is sibi parauit.
\nuerum, utrum illius an mei, quid ad me?
\nutor tam bene quam mihi pararim.
\nsed tu insulsa male et molesta uiuis,
\nper quam non licet esse neglegentem.’<\/p>\n
