Here are some Latin poems written by Catullus, along with my translations of them into English.
| Catullus 3 | A passerine passes. (Or bye-bye birdie.) | ||
| Catullus 5 | Love, mortality, kisses, jealousy, and maybe an abacus. | ||
| Catullus 7 | More kisses, by Jove. | ||
| Catullus 13 | A dinner invitation scent. | ||
| Catullus 15 | A strange dish of fish & veggies. Explicit. | ||
| Catullus 16 | Dissing the reviewers. Explicit. | ||
| Catullus 27 | Brandy, you’re a fine girl. | ||
| Catullus 33 | Partners in crime and a missing bath towel? Explicit. | ||
| Catullus 85 | Frame thy fearful symmetry. |
My goals are fidelity and natural English idiom, which are goals in tension, and that makes translation fun and challenging.
