I believe there may be a typo in your latin version of Carmen 2, and its translation into English.

My copy of Catullus 2 has "UT solaciolum" as opposed to the online version which has "ET solaciolum". This would change the translation from "and a relief" to "as a relief" which makes a bit more sense.

What do you think?

Well, in my copy, it said 'et', but the previous owner changed it to 'ut'. When I asked my teacher about it, he said both were possible, but we could use ut if we wanted. So I did, and most of my classmates changed it too.
I know that's not really an answer to your question, but I suppose both are possible.

Scholars have debated whether to use ut or et for a long time. Both can be translated logically.
