                QUINTI CATULI. Constiteram exorientem Auroram forte salutans,   Cum subito a laeva Roscius exoritur. Pace mihi liceat, coelestes, dicere vestra.   Mortalis visu pulchrior esse deo. Blanditur puero satyrus vultuque manuque;   Nolenti similis retrahit ora puer: Quem non commoveat, quamvis de marmore? fundit   Pene preces satyrus, pene puer lachrymas.                   ENGLISHED. As once I bad good morning to the day, O` th` sudden Roscius breaks in a bright ray: Gods with your favour, I`ve presum`d to see A mortal fairer then a deitie. With looks and hands a satyre courts the boy, Who draws back his unwilling cheek as coy. Although of marble hewn, whom move not they? The boy ev`n seems to weep, the satyre, pray.
