... Ipsitilla, meae deliciae, mei lepores, iube ad te ueniam...

lepores--long o in lepor/lepos, leporis, m.--charm, delight. lepores--short o in lepus, leporis, m.--hare, bunny-rabbit. The hendecasyllabic meter may guide you to the "correct" word. Does Catullus intentionally suggest a second meaning as a term of endearment? Does Catullus enjoy the literary pun (paronomasia)?
