Translation:Catullus 59

by Catullus

Literal English Translation	Original Latin	Line
Rufa from Bononia sucks little Rufus, Menenius' wife, who you have often seen at the burial grounds stealing food from the funeral pyre for herself, when she followed the bread that had rolled out of the fire she would be beaten by the half-shaven cremator.	Bonōniēnsis Rūfa Rūfulum fellāt. uxor Menēnī, saepe quam in sepulcrētis vīdīistis ipsō rapere dē rogō cēnam, cum dēvolūtum ex īgne prōsequens pānem ab sēmirāsō tunderetur ūstorē.	59.1 59.2 59.3 59.4 59.5
