A Blot
Catullus 31.7-10 (tr. F.W. Cornish, rev. G.P. Goold):
Newer› ‹Older
Ah, what is more blessed than to put cares away, when the mind lays by its burden, and tired with labour of far travel we have come to our own home and rest on the couch we longed for?Line 9 of the Latin is disfigured in the Digital Loeb Classical Library, which has fesi instead of fessi. Here is an image of the text, captured yesterday:
o quid solutis est beatius curis,
cum mens onus reponit, ac peregrino
labore fessi venimus larem ad nostrum
desideratoque acquiescimus lecto?
