ergo ubi caelicolae parvos tetigere penates summissoque humiles intrarunt vertice postes,
Therefore, when the heaven-dwellers arrived at the small household and entered the lowly doorposts with lowered head,
membra senex posito iussit relevare sedili, cui superiniecit textum rude sedula Baucis.
the old man ordered (them) to relax their limbs on a couch which had been set out (for them), over which the busy Baucis placed a rough, woven cloth.
inde foco tepidum cinerem dimovit et ignes suscitat hesternos follisque et cortice sicco nutrit et ad flammas anima producit anili,
Then she separated the warm ash in the hearth and rouses yesterday’s fires, feeds (them) with leaves and dry bark, brings forth flames with the breath of an old woman,
multifidasque faces ramaliaque arida tecto detulit et minuit parvoque admovit aëno,
and brought down torches split into many pieces and dry sticks from the roof, made them smaller and applied them to a small bronze pot;
quodque suus coniunx riguo collegerat horto truncat holus foliis;
and she strips a cabbage of its leaves, which her husband had gathered from the well-watered garden;
furca levat ille bicorni sordida terga suis nigro pendentia tigno servatoque diu resecat de tergore partem exiguam sectamque domat feverntibus undis
with a two-pronged fork he lifts the sooty back of a pig which was hanging on a black beam, cuts off a thin slice from the long-preserved back and having cut it up, softens it in the boiling waters.
