Text in Latin with parallel English translation.
Vincent Katz offers translations of all 107 known poems by the Augustan poet Sextus Propertius, a contemporary of Ovid. The translations keep as closely as possible to the original syntax, as Propertius' willful compressions & unusual tellings of myth are definitive of his poetics.
Preserving the Metaphor: Translating Propertius / Vincent Katz -- "Cynthia was the first. She caught me with her eyes" -- "nude Love doesn't love artifice in beauty" -- "although a pair commanded me, gripped with lust" -- "Cynthia is tried by no curse more gravely / than when grace abandons her" -- "she comes with a price" -- "I wasn't born to praise or fighting" -- "This is how my life's used up" -- "Can your tender feet brave the frosts?" -- "Rare Cynthia is mine!" -- "I told you how love would be, and you laughed" -- "not light is the medicine in my words" -- "in the Bay of Naples no love is safe" -- "Cynthia was the first, Cynthia will be the last" -- "She will be punishment for the despised pain of all of them" -- "I'll despise Alcinous' gifts" -- "be whatever you want, just not alien" -- "Once I was opened to great triumphs" -- "God damn him! who first prepared ship and sail" -- "let the rocks be full of your name" -- "There, whatever I'll be, I'll always be called your image" -- "You've been warned, Gallus: protect your love" -- "Gallus ... / tried to escape unknown hands -- but was not able" -- "What class I am and from where" -- "The girl alone erects my genius" -- "Love got the better of me" -- "You are the first Roman girl to recline at Jove's table" -- "Let him like boys, if he will be my friend" -- "this verse, Cynthia, will be your pallor" -- "A wife never, never will a friend lead me astray" -- "conquered nations are worth nothing in love" -- "Are you going to die then, Propertius, still so young?"
