As great as the number of grains of Libyan sand
lasapiciferis iacet Cyrenis
that lies in Silphium-bearing Cyrene
oraclum Iovis inter aestuosi
between the oracle of sweltering Jupiter
et Batti veteris sacrum sepulcrum
and the sacred tomb of old Battus:
aut quam sidera multa, cum tacet nox,
or as many as the stars, when the night is silent,
furtivos hominum vident amores:
which see the furtive love affairs of humans:
tam te basia multa basiare
You kissing so many kisses,
vesano satis et super Catullo est
is enough and more than enough for crazy Catullus,
