Pyramus and Thisbe (3)

postera ... Aurora removerat

The next dawn had removed

nocturnos ... ignes

the fires of the night

solque ... siccaverat

and the sun had dried

pruinosas radiis ... herbas

the frosty grasses with its rays

ad solitum coiere locum

they met at their usual place

tum murmure parvo

Then with a small whisper

multa prius questi

having made many complaints first

statuunt ut nocte silenti

they decide to in the silent night

fallere custodes ... temptent

try to deceive their guards

foribusque excedere

and to go out from the doors

cumque domo exierint

and when they have left the house

urbis quoque tecta relinquant

[to] abandon the buildings of the city also

neve sit errandum

and so that there might not be any getting lost

lato spatiantibus arvo

by them as they walked in open country

conveniant ad busta Nini

[to] meet at Ninus' tomb

lateantque sub umbra arboris

and [to] hide under the shade of the tree

arbor ibi niveis uberrima pomis

there was a tree there very fertile with snow-white fruits

ardua morus, erat

a high mulberry tree, it was

gelido contermina fonti

next to an icy spring

pacta placent

They liked their plan

et lux tarde discedere visa

and the daylight seeming to leave slowly

praecipitatur aquis

rushes headlong into the waters

et aquis nox exit ab isdem

and from the same waters night goes out
