Non amo te Sabidi,nec possum dicere quare.Hoc tantum possum dicere:non amo te. In this poem,the final vowel of the word "Sabidi" is a long vowel "ii". Is that a vocative case's ending?And is the "Sadibi" from "Sabidius"?If so,why is it not"Sabidie"but"Sabidi"?

It's an exception of the second declension. Proper names ending with -ius and the noun "filius" have the vocative in -i. (another famous example is "tu quoque Brute, fili mi")

Sabidius is an originally Roman name that ends in -ius. Originally roman names like this one, form the vocative in an -i ending. Ex. Vergilius- voc. Vergili Sabidius - voc. Sabidi.

To add to the other answers, Sabidī is the vocative form of the name Sabidius, and the accent is retained in the "bi" syllable, in seeming contradiction with the penultimate rule.
