_Yet thou flee'st not above my keen iambics_.
This line is quoted as Catullus's by Porphyrion on Hor. c. 1. 16, 24.
His words, _Catullus cum maledicta minaretur_, compared with the last
lines of this poem, _Irascere iterum meis iambis Inmerentibus, unice
imperator_, seem to justify my view that they belong here. See my large
edition, p. 217, fragm. I. The following line, _So may destiny, &c._, is
a supplement of my own: it forms a natural introduction to the _Si non
uellem_ of v. 10.
