Catullus, Carmina 16

I nearly inflicted this (as well as 15 and 48, coming tomorrow) on my students today, and then I decided that I wasn't going to traumatize them without it being completely pedagogically relevant.


Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo,
Aureli pathice et cinaede Furi,
qui me ex versiculis meis putastis,
quod sunt molliculi, parum pudicum.
Nam castum esse decet pium poetam
ipsum, versiculos nihil necesse est;
qui tum denique habent salem ac leporem,
si sunt molliculi ac parum pudici
et quod pruriat incitare possunt,
non dico pueris, sed his pilosis,
qui duros nequeunt movere lumbos.
Vos quod milia multa basiorum
legistis, male me marem putatis?
Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo.
