卡图卢斯《生活吧,蕾丝比亚,爱吧》
vīvāmus mea Lesbia, atque amēmus,
sōlēs occidere et redīre possunt:
nōbīs cum semel occidit brevis lūx,
nox est perpetua ūna dormienda.
dā mī bāsia mīlle, deinde centum,
dein mīlle altera, dein secunda centum,
deinde ūsque altera mīlle, deinde centum.
dein, cum mīlia multa fēcerīmus,
conturbābimus illa, ne sciāmus,
aut nē quis malus invidēre possit,
cum tantum sciat esse bāsiōrum.
We should live, my Lesbia, and love
And value all the talk of stricter
For us, once our brief light has set,
There's one unending night for sleeping.
Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred,
Then another thousand, then a second hundred,
Then still another thousand, then a hundred;
Then, when we've made many thousands,
We'll muddle1 them so as not to know
Or lest some villain2 overlook us
Knowing the total of our kisses.
