victus amore tui, cognato sanguine victus coniugis et maestae lacrimis, vincla omnia rupi; promissam eripui genero, arma impia sumpsi.
Overborne by love of you, overborne by kindred blood     and the tears of my sorrowing queen, I broke all fetters, snatched the betrothed from her promised husband, and drew the unholy sword.
