The Carmina of Caius Valerius Catullus, by Catullus : lxxxv.

Odi et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris.

Nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.

Hate I, and love I. Haps thou’lt ask me wherefore I do so.

Wot I not, yet so I do feeling a torture of pain.

I hate and I love. Wherefore do I so, peradventure thou askest. I know not, but I feel it to be thus and I suffer.
