Translation:Catullus 41

Literal English Translation Original Latin Line

Ameana, the worn-out prostitute,
demanded the whole 10,000 from me
that girl with the ugly big nose,
lover of the spendthrift of Formiae.
Relatives, to whom the girl is of concern,
call together doctors and friends:
the girl is not sane, nor is she accustomed to ask
the reflective bronze what she is like.

Ameana puella defututa
tota milia me decem poposcit,
ista turpiculo puella naso,
decoctoris amica Formiani.
propinqui, quibus est puella curae,
amicos medicosque convocate:
non est sana puella, nec rogare
qualis sit solet aes imaginosum.
