E. T. Merrill, Commentary on Catullus (ed. E. T. Merrill), Poem 36 (search)
Volusius' Annals, defiled sheets, fulfil a vow for my girl: for
she vowed to sacred Venus and to Cupid that if I were reunited to her, and I
desisted hurling savage iambics, she would give the choicest writings of the
worst poet to the slow-footed god to be burned with ill-omened wood. And the
wretched girl saw herself vow this to the gods in jest. Now, O Creation of the
pale blue sea, you who dwell in sacred Idalium and in storm-beaten Urium, and foster Ancona and reedy Amathus, Cnidos and
Golgos and Dyrrhachium, the tavern of
the Adriatic, accept and acknowledge this vow if it lacks neither grace nor
charm. But meantime, off with you to the flames, crammed with boorish speech and
vapid, Annals of Volusius, defiled sheets.

And let no one on account of what has happened to me, or perhaps to one or
two others besides, fear to adopt this plan of life. One man in this state
whom I can mention, a man who had done great services to the republic,
Lucius Opimius, did fall in a most shameful manner. And if his grave is a
deserted one on the shore of Dyrrachium, he has a most superb monument in our forum. And
the Roman people itself at all times delivered him from danger, though he
was exceedingly unpopular with the mob on account of the death of Caius
Gracchus; and it was a storm coming from another quarter—from an
iniquitous judicial derision which crushed that illustrious citizen. But the
other men who have done good service to the state have either if for a while

Having dismissed him with these instructions, he arrived before Brundusium with six legions, three
of which were composed of veteran soldiers, and the rest of new levies drawn
together upon his march; for as to Domitius's troops, he had sent them
directly from Corfinium to Sicily. He found the consuls were gone to Dyrrhachium with great part of the army,
and that Pompey remained in Brundusium with twenty cohorts. Nor
was it certainly known whether he continued there with design to keep
possession of Brundusium, that he might be master
of the whole Adriatic Sea, the extreme parts of Italy, and the country of Greece, in order to make war on both sides
the gulf; or for want of shipping to transport his men. Fearing, therefore,
that it was his intention to keep footing i

Caesar having spent nine days about his works, had now half finished the
staccado, when the ships employed in the first embarkation, being sent back
by the consuls from Dyrrhachium, returned to Brundusium. Pompey, either alarmed
at Caesar's works, or because from the first he had determined to relinquish Italy, no sooner saw the transports
arrive, than he prepared to carry over the rest of his forces. And the
better to secure himself against Caesar, and prevent his troops from
breaking into the town during the embarkation, he walled up the gates,
barricaded the streets, or cut ditches across them, filled with pointed
stakes, and covered with hurdles and earth. The two streets which led to the
port and which he left open for the passage of his men, were fortified with
