A fragment from Catullus
by Frank Watson
My Translation


so pleasing to me, as it was for the girl holding

the golden apple that freed her long ago

from the girdle binding her for days on end.


Original Latin


tam gratum est mihi quam ferunt puellae

pernici aureolum fuisse malum

quod zonam soluit diu ligatam
