How to quote this translation

Lesbius est pulcer. quid ni? quem Lesbia malit
     quam te cum tota gente, Catulle, tua.
sed tamen hic pulcer uendat cum gente Catullum,
     si tria notorum notorum m: natorum m suauia reppererit.

Lesbius is a pretty-boy. Of course, for Lesbia prefers him to you and all your kin, Catullus. But this pretty-boy would sell Catullus and his kin as slaves if he could get three kisses from acquaintances.
