Catullus 32, translated by Brendon Pohner
     
   
32

Please my sweet Ipsi, my treasure, my treat
Call me at noon I will run down the street.
Just stay in your home and don’t lock the door
I’m comin’ for lovin’ nine times maybe more.
If you have other plans please don’t send me away
For I’ve eaten my lunch and feel quite full and gay.
I lie on my back; my jeans feel full of ants,
While my little soldier pokes straight through my pants.
