Translation:Catullus 71


Literal English Translation Original Latin Line

If the holy goat of the armpits stands well deserved in someone's way,
  or if the limping gout cuts someone deservedly,
it's the one, who is jealous of you, who keeps your lover company,
  is wonderfully for you meet with both misfortunes.
For as often as he fucked her, so often will both be punished:
  She will be crushed by the smell, he will die because of the the gout.

Si cui iure bono sacer alarum obstitit hircus,
  aut si quem merito tarda podagra secat,
aemulus iste tuus, qui vestrum exercet amorem,
  mirifice est a te nactus utrumque malum.
nam quotiens futuit, totiens ulciscitur ambos:
  illam affligit odore, ipse perit podagra.
