Scīs iter ex animō sublātum trīste puellae?
Nātālī Rōmae iam licet esse meō.
Omnibus ille diēs nōbīs nātālis agātur,
quī nec opīnāntī nunc tibi forte venit.
notes
I have been unexpectedly allowed to spend my birthday in Rome.
1 sublātum: from tollō, tollere, sustulī, sublātum, "remove, take away." Supply esse in indirect statement governed by scīs, “has been taken away from" + ex + abl.
1 trīste: modifies iter, “dreary journey,” i.e. the journey to the country that Sulpicia was lamenting in 3.14.
2 nātālī meō: “for my birthday.”
2 Rōmae: locative.
3 Omnibus nōbīs: dative of agent with a passive verb. “By each of us.” The implication is that Sulpicia wants to spend her birthday with Cerinthus, i.e. together (DMLBS omnis 2).
3 ille diēs nātālis agātur: jussive subjunctive, “let that birthday be spent.” LS ago II.D.5.
4 nec opīnāntī: lit. “and not as it was imagined,” i.e., “unexpectedly.” Technically dative like tibi, but works well grammatically taken adverbially to balance forte.
4 forte: “by chance.” Take with tibi venit.
