Let me explain myself. Catullus never got the chance and I'm doing this so I don't repeat any of his mistakes.
I used to be better at Latin than Stephen Dedalus. Things have changed and I'm trying to get back to where I was. I loved Catullus an awful lot when I could read him - so I've set myself the task of reading every one of his carmina.
I figured I might as well practise writing too, so I'm going to pop my translations on here.
o patrona virgo,
plus uno maneat perenne saeclo.
