Translation:Catullus 74


Literal English Translation Original Latin Line

Gellius has heared that his uncle is in the habit of scolding,
  if someone speaks of or does wanton things.
Lest this doesn't happen to himself, he slept with
  his uncle's wife and made his uncle an Harpocrates.
He achieved what he wanted: for, although fucks his own
  uncles in the mouth now, his uncles can't say a word.

Gellius audierat patruum obiurgare solere,
  si quis delicias diceret aut faceret.
hoc ne ipsi accideret, patrui perdepsuit ipsam
  uxorem et patruum reddidit Arpocratem.
quod voluit fecit: nam, quamvis irrumet ipsum
  nunc patruum, verbum non faciet patruus.
