Servant boy of aged Falernus! Mix my cups bitterer. Such is the Law of our mistress Postumia, tipsier than a tipsy grape. Go where you please, water-nymphs, destroyers of wine, go and live with the prudes, for this is the pure child of the Mother of Bacchus.
Catullus, Poems 27
Minister vetuli puer Falerni
inger mi calices amariores,
ut lex Postumiae iubet magistrae
ebrioso acino ebriosioris.
at vos quo lubet hinc abite, lymphae
vini pernicies, et ad severos
migrate. hic merus est Thyonian*s.
