 'callida per tenebras versato cardine Thisbe egreditur fallitque suos adopertaque vultum pervenit ad tumulum dictaque sub arbore sedit.

Clever Thisbe, having turned the hinge [of the door] steps out through the darkness and deceives her parents and, with her face covered, reaches the tomb and sits under the appointed tree.

audacem faciebat amor. venit ecce recenti caede leaena boum spumantis oblita rictus

Love was making her brave. Look, there comes a lioness, with her foaming jaws smeared with fresh slaughter,

depositura sitim vicini fontis in unda;

ready to quench her thirst in the water of the nearby spring;

quam procul ad lunae radios Babylonia Thisbe vidit et obscurum timido pede fugit in antrum,   

Babylonian Thisbe saw the lioness from far away, by the light of the moon, and fled into a dark cave with her fearful step,

dumque fugit, tergo velamina lapsa reliquit.

and while she fled, she dropped her cloak which had fallen from her back.

ut lea saeva sitim multa conpescuit unda, dum redit in silvas

When the savage lioness overcame her thirst with lots of water, as she returned into the woods,

inventos forte sine ipsa ore cruentato tenues laniavit amictus.

she tore at the thin cloak, which she had found by chance without its owner, in her bloody jaw.
