The sun be drawn by horses of darkness,
Rivers will flow backward to their source
and fish dry up in an arid sea
Before I grieve for another woman.
I shall be hers in life and death.
terra prius falso deludet arantis
et citius nigros Sol agitabit equos,
fluminaque ad caput incipient revocare liquores
aridus et sicco gurguite piscis erit,
quam possim nostros alio transferre dolores:
huius ero vivus, mortuus huius ero.
