I've stumbled across a site, in the form of a Blog, that displays one poem of Martial each day, in the original Latin with an English translation. Thanks to Atriades for the link.
Today's poem is mildly obscene, as so many of Martial's are, but if you don't mind the obscenity you might let me know if you agree that the last line is so mistranslated as to lose the point of the poem. - Ah! (note added Saturday 11th) Either I was cross-eyed yesterday, or the translation has been changed and is now right!
I've added the link to the Blog links on the right of the page.
