| | Here is my translation of Carmen 13:
Fabullus, in a few days, you’ll be able,
if the gods allow, to eat at my table;
provided, that is, you bring a big
enough meal – a lamb or goat or pig –
and you don’t forget a horny girl
along with a bottle, your wit and usual
loud noisy laughter. I guarantee you’ll
eat your fill; right now my wallet’s full
of cobwebs. In return, I promise
you something sweeter and more lavish –
a perfume of my girl’s, one whiff
of which, Fabullus, will have you stiff
and smitten by a hail of Cupid’s arrows,
wishing you were one big nose!
