Catullus 5
Catullus 5
Vivamus , mea Lesbia , atque amemus ,
rumoresque senum severiorum
omnes unius aestimemus assis .
soles occidere et redire possunt :
nobis , cum semel occidit brevis lux ,
nox est perpetua una dormienda .
da mi basia mille , deinde centum ,
dein mille altera , dein secunda centum ,
deinde usque altera mille , deinde centum ,
dein , cum milia multa fecerimus ,
conturbabimus illa , ne sciamus ,
aut ne quis malus invidere possit ,
cum tantum sciat esse basiorum .

Love
we
(
my
Lesbia
!
)
and
live
we
our
day
,
While all stern sayings crabbed sages say ,
At one doit ' s value let us price and prize !
The Suns can westward sink again to rise
But we , extinguished once our tiny light ,
Perforce shall slumber through one lasting night !
Kiss me a thousand times , then hundred more ,
Then thousand others , then a new five-score ,
Still other thousand other hundred store .
Last when the sums to many thousands grow ,
The tale let ' s trouble till no more we know ,
Nor envious wight despiteful shall misween us
Knowing how many kisses have been kissed between us .

Knowing how many kisses have been kissed between us .
