Meeting each other halfway

Mentula tam magna est quantus tibi, Papyle, nasus,
ut possis, quotiens arrigis, olfacere.

Your prick is so large,
And your nose so long, Papilus,
That when you have a hard-on,
You can smell it.

Tu, o Papilo, hai una mentula sì smisurata,
ed un sì gran naso,
che potresti,
ogni volta che arrigi fiutarla.

Martial, Epigrams, Book 6, XXXVI
English translation by Holden Caulfield
Italian translation by Giuspanio Graglia
