[43] ne: etc. it gives an easier passage of thought to v. 45 sed dicam to take vv. 43 and 44 as a final clause directly dependent upon non possum reticere, rather than to read with the MSS. nec and understand the clause as a parenthetical wish (for a potential subjunctive here seems impossible). With MS. nec for a genuine ne cf. v. 103; Catul. 21.13; Catul. 62.59; Catul. 99.9.
