si tibi non cordi fuerant conubia nostra, POEMS OF CATULLUS 125 ing the sanctity of the Gods? Ah, faithless one, will you carry your accursed perjury homeward? Could nothing oversway the cruel counsels of your heart? Was there in your hardness no grain of mercy which could make you feel pity for me? These were not the promises you once made, it was not for these sorrows you bid me hope, but for a joyous home and a happy wedlock : alas, all these are scattered to the careless winds.
Hereafter le...t no woman trust man's promises, or hope for faithful words; for when they wish to attain their desires, there is nothing they will not swear, no promise do they scruple to make: but once their desires have been satisfied, they fear no broken words and care nothing for their perjuries. Was it not I who snatched you from the very jaws of death, and let my brother's blood be shed, rather than that I should fail you in your dire hour of need? For this I am to be offered as prey to the wild beasts and carrion birds, nor when dead shall I be sepulchred be- neath the earth.
