Caelius and Quintius, the flower of the Veronese youth, madly in love with
Aufilenus, madly in love with Aufilena—the one with the brother; the
other with the sister. This is, as one would say, true brotherhood and sweet
friendship. To whom shall I incline the more? Caelius, to you; for your single
devotion to us was shown by its deeds, when the raging flame scorched my marrow.
Be happy, Caelius, be potent in love.
Catullus. The Carmina of Gaius Valerius Catullus. Leonard C. Smithers. London. Smithers. 1894.
