Notes on Catvllvs
Tenney Frank
CATVLLVS LXVIII. 157 contains a crux in the last word which has continued to defy editors. In ending his long elegy Manlius, Catullus showers gratitude upon him and all who have served first efforts meet Lesbia: Sitis felices et tu simul tua uita domus, qua nos lusimus, domina qui principio nobis terram dedit aufert quo sunt primo omnia nata bona.
