Veranius, first to me of all <br />my three hundred thousand friends, <br />have you come home to your own house <br />your harmonious brothers, and old mother? <br />You’re back. O happy news for me! <br />I’ll see you safe and sound and listen <br />to your tales of Spanish places that you’ve done, <br />and tribes, as is your custom, and <br />hang about your neck, and kiss <br />your lovely mouth and eyes. <br />O who of all men is happier <br />than I the gladdest and happiest?<br /><br />Gaius Valerius Catullus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/back-from-spain-to-veranius/
