Catullus - Mix the wine stronger lyrics

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.
