Let's live my Lesbia, and let's love, <br />Don't let's care <br />The chats of old pains in the ass! <br />Sun can set and return; <br />If this brief light turns off <br />We've to sleep for a perpetual night. <br />Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred, <br />Then another thousand, then a hundred again, <br />Then till another thousand, then till a hundred. <br />When we'll have many thousand of them, <br />Will mix them till we've missed their sum. <br />If the envious ones know the quantity of our kisses, <br />Don't let them give the evil eye. <br />(Translated from Latin by Paolo G. Mazzarello)<br /><br />Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/da-mi-basia-mille-deinde-centum-by-catullus/
