Quintus, if you wish Catullus to owe his eyes to you
or anything if there is more dear than eyes are,
be unwilling to snatch from him what is much more dear than his
eyes are or what is more dear than his eyes are.

Quinti, si tibi vis oculos debere Catullum
aut aliud si quid carius est oculis,
eripere ei noli, multo quod carius illi
est oculis seu quid carius est oculis.
