E. T. Merrill, Commentary on Catullus (ed. E. T. Merrill), Poem 51 (search)
the power of his own passion, which he perceives has been fostered by his lack of active occupations. With the thought cf. Ov. Rem. Am. 138 [otia] sunt iucundi causa cibusque mali, otia si tollas, periere Cupidinis arcus. otium: a similar emphatic repetition of otium at the beginning of closely connected verses is found in Hor. Carm. 2.16.1ff. molestum: of a disease, as in Hor. Ep. 1.1.108 pituita molesta est . exsultas … gestis: similar phraseology is used by Cicero, speaking of the slave to passion, in Cic. Tusc. 5.6.16 exsultans et temere gestiens . Probably Catullus had no especial case in mind, but Croesus and Sybaris might have served him as well-known examples of such ruined kings and cities.
