tinction which commonly obtains, between amore
tuo and amore tui.

gods to be delivered from the power of his love for
her.

CARMEN LIU.
To Juventius.
A young Roman, whom Catullus reproves and
ridicules for having preferred to himself a jaundice
visaged Pisaurian.
CARMEN LIV.
A neatly expressed epigram addressed to Quin-
tius, probably a rival with Catullus in the favors of
Aufilena. #
CARMEN LV.
Of Arrius.
A Roman cockney, who made himself notorious
by an affected pronunciation.
8. eadem hac] 'these same' words, to which
Arrius had given the aspirate. leniter ac leviter]
'softly and lightly. '

Quintia many beauties, but denying her claim to
be called beautiful.
3. venustas] 'grace. '
4. salis] 'elegance. '
CARMEN LV1II.
Of Lesbia.
Love surviving disdain and reproaches.
3. deprecor] seems here to have not merely the
force of ' to pray against,' to deprecate, but also
includes the notion of imprecation. So many mal-
edictions as Lesbia utters against him, he forthwith
and continually invokes on her.
CARMEN LIX.
On the Smyrna of the Poet Cinna.
Fragments of a poem in which Catullus gives his
opinion of the worth of several cotemporary writers,
and of their prospects of immortality.
1. Smyrna] the name of an elaborate poem of
Cinna. This was an intimate friend of Caesar and
of Catullus, (met) Corn. Helvius Cinna.
3. Hortensius] Quintus the celebrated orator.
6. pervolvent] 'turn over,'' read. '

fish.
10. Antimacho] a native of Colophon, who wrote -
a huge poem on the Theban war.
CARMEN LX.
To lAcinias Calvus.
On the early death of Quintilia, solacing hia
grief with the hope that if an affectionate remem-
brance by the survivors, may be grateful to the de-
parted, the sadness of her untimely loss of the joys
of life, would be overpaid by the strength and con-
stancy of his love.
CARMEN LX1.
Catullus had gone to Troas, to pay the last honors
to the Manes of his brother, who was buried there.
After the usual solemnities, he addresses the dead
in the words of this poem. The love of Catullus
for his brother, the only relative he mentions, is one
of the brighter features in a character too deeply
stained with the licentiousness of the age.
CARMEN LXII.
He commends to his friend Cornelius, his power
of keeping secrets.
