...let us live and love,
nor give a damn what sour old men say.
The sun that sets may rise again
but when our light has sunk into the earth,
it is gone forever.

Give me a thousand kisses,
then a hundred, another thousand,
another hundred
and in one breath
still kiss another thousand,
another hundred.
O then with lips and bodies joined
many deep thousands;
confuse
their minds,
so that poor fools and cuckolds (envious
even now)shall never
learn out wealth and curse us
with their
evil eyes.

Catulus
