baucis and Philemon part 3-4

inde foco tepidum cinerem dimovit et ignes
suscitat hesternos

Next she poked the warm ash in the hearth and she rekindled yesterday's flames

foliisque et cortice sicco
nutrit et ad flammas anima producit anili,

and fed [them] with leaves and dry bark and coaxed them to flames with her aged breath

multifidasque faces ramaliaque arida tecto
detulit et minuit parvoque admovit aeno,

and she brought down both finely split sticks and dry twigs from the roof-space and chopped up and put them under a small pot,

quodque suus coniunx riguo collegerat horto
truncat holus foliis;

and chopped the vegetables which her husband had gathered from the well-watered garden, along with their leaves;

furca levat ille bicorni
sordida terga suis nigro pendentia tigno

he lifted down on a two-pronged fork the smoked backs of a pig hanging on a blackened beam.

servatoque diu resecat de tergore partem
exiguam sectamque domat ferventibus undis.

And cut a very small slice from the specially saved back and made the cut tender in the boiling water.

interea medias fallunt sermonibus horas
sentirique moram prohibent.

they whiled away the intervening hours with conversation to prevent the delay from being felt

erat alveus illic
fagineus dura clavo suspensus ab ansa;

There was a beechwood tub there, hung by its handle on a crude peg

is tepidis impletur aquis artusque fovendos
accipit.

it was filled with warm water and received limbs needing to be refreshed.

in medio torus est de mollibus ulvis
impositus lecto sponda pedibusque salignis;

In the middle was a mattress made from soft marsh grasses placed as a couch on a frame and feet of willow

vestibus hunc velant quas non nisi tempore festo
sternere consuerant,

they covered this with a covering which they were not accustomed to lay out except on holidays

sed et haec vilisque vetusque
vestis erat, lecto non indignanda saligno.
accubuere dei.

but even this covering was both old and cheap, not unbefitting of the willow couch. The gods reclined.
