sed pia Baucis anus parilique aetate Philemon
illa sunt annis iuncti iuvenalibus,
but pious old woman Baucis and Philemon of equal age were in that house, joined from youthful years,
tamen una recepit,
parva quidem stipulis et canna tecta palustri,
However, one [house] received them, indeed a small [house] covered with straw and reed of the marsh,
illa
consenuere casa paupertatemque fatendo
effecere levem nec iniqua mente ferendo.
they grew old in that cottage and they made light of their poverty by admitting it and not by bearing it with a discontented mind.
Iuppiter huc specie mortali cumque parente
venit Atlantiades positis caducifer alis.
Jupiter came here in the form of a human and staff-bearing Mercury [came] with his parent, having laid aside his wings.
mille domos adiere locum requiemque petentes,
mille domos clausere serae.
They approached a thousand homes, seeking a room and rest, bolts closed a thousand homes.
nec refert, dominos illic famulosne requiras:
tota domus duo sunt, idem parentque iubentque.
And it does not matter whether you ask for masters or slaves there: the whole household is two [persons], the same ones both obey and order.
ergo ubi caelicolae parvos tetigere penates
summissoque humiles intrarunt vertice postes,
Therefore, when the gods arrived at the small house and entered the low door-posts with lowered head,
membra senex posito iussit relevare sedili,
cui superiniecit textum rude sedula Baucis.
the old man ordered them to rest their limbs on a positioned couch, on top of which busy Baucis threw a rough covering.
