E. T. Merrill, Commentary on Catullus (ed. E. T. Merrill), Poem 35 (search)
the Muses. doctior: an epithet commonly applied to poets, especially of this school, which disdained the rude simplicity of its predecessors, and sought inspiration among the polished Alexandrians (Catullus is styled doctus by Ovid in Ov. Am. 3.9.62, by Lygdamus in Tib. 3.6.41, and by Martial in Mart. 7.99.7 and Mart. 14.152.1); Catullus means that a girl so appreciative of the best poetry must have within herself the attributes of a poet: so Propertius calls Cynthia docta (Prop. 3.13.11), and in Catullus Catul. 65.2 the Muses are doctae virgines. magna Mater: i.e. Cybele; cf. Catul. 63.9n. incohata: there is no reason to suppose, as some have done, any playful implication that Caecilius had been unwarrantably long in getting beyond the beginning of his work.

Neptune's feast-day! what should man Think first of doing? Lyde mine, be bold, Broach the treasured Caecuban, And batter Wisdom in her own stronghold. Now the noon has pass'd the full, Yet sure you deem swift Time has made a halt, Tardy as you are to pull Old Bibulus' wine-jar from its sleepy vault.

herea so her Mars would bless. Too far provok'd, at last I cried aloud, "On whom are pleasures, due to me, bestow'd? I must not, will not, cannot bear this sight; 'Tis lawful, sure, to seize upon my right. These raptures to us both in common are, But whence, ye furies, claims a third his share?" Enrag'd I spoke, and o'er her cheeks were spread Swift newborn glories in a sudden red; Such blushes on the bridal night adorn The trembling virgin; such the rising morn. So sweet a hue the lab'ring Cynthia shows, Or the fair lily damask'd by the rose; Or iv'ry, which time's yellow taint defies, When twice enrich'd with proud Assyrian dies: Such were her looks, and a diviner grace Had never brighten'd that enchanting face. She cast her eyes down on the humble ground; Her eyes, so cast, an unknown sweetness found. Mournful her looks; her mournful looks became Shining thro' grief, and beautiful in shame. I rush'd, resolv'd her golden locks to tear, And with mad violence disrobe the fair; But as
