Ἥμισύ μευ ψυχῆς ἔτι τὸ πνέον, ἥμισυ δ' οὐκ οἶδ'
εἴτ' Ἔρος εἴτ' Ἀίδης ἥρπασε, πλὴν ἀφανές.
ἧ ῥά τιν' ἐς παίδων πάλιν ᾤχετο; καὶ μὲν ἀπεῖπον
πολλάκι τὴν δρῆστιν μὴ ὑπέχεσθε, νέοι.
Θεύτιμον δίφησω· ἐκεῖσε γὰρ ἡ λιθόλευστος
κείνη καὶ δύσερως οἶδ' ὅτι που στρέφεται.
Half my soul is still breathing, but I don't know
whether Eros or Hades ran off with the other half.
At any rate it's disappeared.
Or has it ran off to one of the boys? Even after
I've told them many times not to accept a fugitive...
Let me find Theotimus. I know it's probably
making its way there. Poor thing will get stoned to death.
cf. Quintus Catulus fr. 1:
aufugit mi animus; credo, ut solet, ad Theotimum
deuenit. sic est; perfugium illud habet.
quid si non interdixem ne illunc fugitiuum
mitteret ad se intro, sed magis eiceret?
ibimus quaesitum. uerum, ne ipsi teneamur,
formido. quid ago? da, Venus, consilium.
