Words and Verse
Catullus LXX (Translation-Latin)
“And I'd still love you if high Juppiter
Were hitting on me. Still I would, I swear”
Girls' vows to lovers might as well be scribbled
In rushing rivers and in windy air.
Original
nulli se dicit mulier mea nubere malle
quam mihi. non si se Iuppiter ipse petat.
dicit. sed mulier cupido quod dicit amanti
in uento et rapida scribere oportet aqua.

Girls' vows to lovers might as well be scribbled
In rushing rivers and in windy air.
Original
