Catullus 10

Catullus 10 is a Latin poem of thirty-four lines in Phalaecean metre by the Roman poet Catullus.

Analysis
Catullus, or the speaker, tells at his own expense how neatly he was shown up when attempting to put on airs about his supposed wealth acquired in Bithynia, whither he went in 57 BC in the retinue of the governor Memmius. According to E. T. Merrill, "the forms of expression are thoroughly colloquial." He dates the composition to about 56 BC.

In his Victorian translation of Catullus, R. F. Burton titles the poem "He meets Varus and Mistress".
