On hunger in third world countries;
"Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day,
teach a man how to fish on the other hand,
and he'll sell the fishing rod for a fish."
Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo
2 Aureli pathice et cinaede Furi,
3 qui me ex versiculis meis putastis,
4 quod sunt molliculi, parum pudicum.
5 Nam castum esse decet pium poetam
6 ipsum, versiculos nihil necessest;
7 qui tum denique habent salem ac leporem,
8 si sunt molliculi ac parum pudici
9 et quod pruriat incitare possunt,
10 non dico pueris, sed his pilosis
11 qui duros nequeunt movere lumbos.
12 Vos, quod milia multa basiorum
13 legistis, male me marem putatis?
14 Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo.
Catullus 16 My favorite poem and my yearbook quote. Thank god no one reads latin.
**** you and ****
2 Aurelius and catamite Furius,
3 thinking me, my verses,
4 that they are delicate, not quite decent.
5 For the true poet should be chaste
6 himself, his verses need not be so;
7 which then have taste and charm,
8 If they are delicate and sexy
9 And he can incite an itch,
10 I do not mean in boys, but in those hairy
11 guys who moving their limbs.
12 You, because you my thousand kisses,
13 you have read my virility?
14 I will sodomize you and ********* .
Better Translation
I will sodomize you and ********* you,
2 Aureli pathice et cinaede Furi, bottom Aurelius and catamite Furius,
3 qui me ex versiculis meis putastis, you who think, because my poems
4 quod sunt molliculi, parum pudicum. are sensitive, that I have no shame.
5 Nam castum esse decet pium poetam For it's proper for a devoted poet to be moral
6 ipsum, versiculos nihil necessest; himself, [but] in no way is it necessary for his poems.
7 qui tum denique habent salem ac leporem, In point of fact, these have wit and charm,
8 si sunt molliculi ac parum pudici if they are sensitive and a little shameless,
9 et quod pruriat incitare possunt, and can arouse an itch,
10 non dico pueris, sed his pilosis and I don't mean in boys, but in those hairy old men
11 qui duros nequeunt movere lumbos. who can't get it up.
12 Vos, quod milia multa basiorum Because you've read my countless kisses,
13 legistis, male me marem putatis? you think less of me as a man?
14 Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo. I will sodomize you and ********* you.
