Ille mi par esse deo videtur, / ille, si fas est, superare divos, / qui sedens adversus identidem te / spectat et audit // dulce ridentem, misero quod omnes / eripit sensus mihi: nam simul te, / Lesbia, aspexi, nihil est super mi / <vocis in ore;> // lingua sed torpet, tenuis sub artus / flamma demanat, sonitu suopte / tintinant aures, gemina teguntur / lumina nocte.
He seems to me to be equal to a god, / he, if it is permissible, / seems to surpass the gods, / who sitting opposite again and again / watches and hears you // sweetly laughing, which rips out all senses / from miserable me: for at the same moment I look upon you, / Lesbia, nothing is left for me / <of my voice in my mouth;> // But my tongue grows / thick, a thin flame / runs down beneath my limbs, with their own sound / my ears ring, my lights (eyes) / are covered by twin night.
