To Calvus: on the Death of Quintilia

Caius Valerius Catullus (84? B.C.–54? B.C.)


SI quicquam mutis gratum acceptumue sepulcris
accidere a nostro, Calue, dolore potest,
quom desiderio ueteres renouamus amores
atque olim amissas flemus amicitias,
certe non tanto mors immatura dolorei’st	5
Quintiliae, quantum gaudet amore tuo.
