Cenabis bene

• you will dine well, my Fabullus, at my house

  in a few days, if the gods favour you,

  if you bring with you a good and large dinner,

  and you come not without a beautiful girl

  and wine and salty wit and all the laughs.

  If you bring these things, I say, my charming friend,

  you will dine well; for the purse of your Catullus is full of cobwebs.
• but in return you will receive pure affection

  or anything which is more charming or tasteful.

  For I will give you perfume, which the

  Venuses and Cupids have given to my girl,

  which when you smell, you will ask the gods,

  to make you all nose, Fabullus.
