Baucis and Philemon - Lines 36-50 - "The gods perform a miracle and tell the aged pair to climb a mountain"

For my own revision, OCR GCSE Latin Literature Option B

interea totiens haustum cratera repleri sponte sua per seque vident succrescere vina;

Meanwhile they see the mixing bowl, which had been drained so many times, refilled of its own accord and the wine increasing by itself.

attoniti novitate pavent manibusque supinis concipiunt Baucisque preces timidusque Philemon et veniam dapibus nullisque paratibus orant.

Astonished by the strangeness of the event, they fear, and, with hands facing upwards, both Baucis and fearful Philemon begin to form prayers and beg pardon for the feast and lack of preparations.

unicus anser erat, minimae custodia villae, quem dis hospitibus domini mactare parabant;

There was just one goose, guardian of the very small house, which the owners were preparing to kill for the gods, their guests;

ille celer penna tardos aetate fatigat eluditque diu tandemque est visus ad ipsos confugisse deos.

the goose, swift with its wings, wore them out as they were slow through age, eluded them for a long time, and finally seemed to have fled for refuge to the gods themselves.

superi vetuere necari “di” que “sumus, meritasque luet vicinia poenas impia” dixerunt;

The gods forbade it to be killed, and said, “We are gods, and the irreligious neighbourhood will pay the penalty it deserves;

“vobis immunibus huius esse mali dabitur.

it will be granted to you to be exempt from this destruction

modo vestra relinquite tecta ac nostros comitate gradus et in ardua montis ite simul.”

Just leave your home and accompany our steps and go together with us to the steep parts of the mountain.”
