Risi nescio quem modo e corona,
qui, cum mirifice Vatiniana meus crimina Calvus explicasset, admirans ait haec manusque tollens: ‘Di magni, salaputium disertum!’ I laughed at someone in court lately Who, when my Calvus gave a splendid Account of all Vatinius’ crimes, With hands raised in surprise announced ‘Great Gods, the squirt’s articulate!’ Vuoi ridere? Poco fa, accusandolo in tribunale, il mio Calvo inchioda Vatinio ai suoi delitti: entusiasta uno del pubblico si sbraccia e grida: ‘Gran Dio, che oratore quel cazzetto!’ |
Gaius Valerius Catullus, LIII
