The Quiet Deviless’ bat is dead. I should write her an ode.


[font=Tinos]This one springs to mind:

Lugete, o Veneres Cupidinesque,
et quantum est hominum venustiorum:
passer mortuus est meae puellae,
passer, deliciae meae puellae,
quem plus illa oculis suis amabat.


What other delights have you found?

Et cum diceret &quotpasser&quot, vespertilionem dico. :P

Ita vero.

Sadly, it doesn’t scan, and my Latin is far too rudimentary to write my own. I translated a lot of Catullus for my year 12 project way back in the dim dark past.
