1 | Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo | I will sodomize you and face-fuck you, |
2 | Aureli pathice et cinaede Furi, | bottom Aurelius and catamite Furius, |
3 | Qui me ex versiculis meis putastis, | you who think, because my poems |
4 | Quod sunt molliculi, parum pudicum. | are sensitive, that I have no shame. |
5 | Nam castum esse decet pium poetam | For it's proper for a devoted poet to be moral |
6 | Ipsum, versiculos nihil necesse est; | himself, [but] in no way is it necessary for his poems. |
7 | Qui tum denique habent salem ac leporem, | In point of fact, these have wit and charm, |
8 | Si sunt molliculi ac parum pudici, | if they are sensitive and a little shameless, |
9 | Et quod pruriat incitare possunt, | and can arouse an itch, |
10 | Non dico pueris, sed his pilosis | and I don't mean in boys, but in those hairy old men |
11 | Qui duros nequeunt movere lumbos. | who can't get it up. |
12 | Vos, quod milia multa basiorum | Because you've read my countless kisses, |
13 | Legistis, male me marem putatis? | you think less of me as a man? |
14 | Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo. | I will sodomize you and face-fuck you. |
