53. Read lines 12-15 (aloud if possible) or listen to the audio on the CSCP website.54. Study the vocabulary for these lines.55. Read lines 12-15 (or listen to the audio) again.56. Who does Catullus address now? What two things does he say in line 12?57. How does Catullus’ choice of words in the second half of line 12 emphasise that he is carrying out the order hegave in line 11?58. What is the tense of requiret and rogabit (line 13)? (requirere is a 3rd-conjugation verb like trahere, androgare is a 1st-conjugation verb like portare. If you need to remind yourself how these conjugations form theirtenses, see the Cambridge Latin Grammar, page 28, paragraph 1.)59. What two things does Catullus say he will not do?60. Who does invitam describe? If puzzled, study its case and gender.61. Does Catullus’ use of the word invitam make it easier, or harder, to believe his statement that Catullusobdurat? (Hint: What would happen if the girl replied that she wasn’t totally unwilling? Might this be whyCatullus uses the word?)62. How does he predict the girl will feel in the future (line 14)?63. What person (“I”, “you”, etc.) is indicated by rogaberis? Is rogaberis active or passive? If in difficulty, study thefuture active and future passive of portare (Cambridge Latin Grammar, pages 28 and 30).64. nulla is being used in an unusual way, more common in speech than writing, as a stronger negative than non.Not … at all, with the translation of rogaberis placed between “not” and “at all”, would be suitable.65. When will the girl feel sad, according to the second half of line 14?66. Translate line 14. Although rogaberis refers to future time and Latin uses a future tense, translation by a presenttense gives more natural English.67* scelesta (line 15) can indicate bad character (wicked) but can also mean unlucky; wretched might cover bothmeanings. In the same way, vae te (alas for you! or in more modern English You’ll be sorry!) could be either athreat or an expression of pity. Which meanings of scelesta and vae te seem to you the more likely? (There isno definite “right answer” to this question.)68. qui (and its various cases and genders) can be used in a question; it is an adjective and means What …?,Which …? or What sort of …? For example:qui puer fenestram fregit?quem clamorem audis?Which boy broke the window?What (or What sort of) noise do you hear?When qui is used like this, it is an adjective describing a noun. What noun does quae describe in line 15?69. What question does Catullus ask the girl in line 15? If you are unsure whether to use What …? or What sort of…?, decide first whether Catullus is suggesting that the girl does not have long to live.70.
