sed primum meritam larga donate salute atque haec submisso dicite verba sono: haec tibi vir quondam, nunc frater, casta Neaera, mittit et accipias munera parva rogat, teque suis iurat caram magis esse medullis, sive sibi coniunx sive futura soror: sed potius coniunx: huius spem nominis illi auferet extincto pallida Ditis aqua.
And first (she has deserved it) bestow on her an ample greeting and in subdued accents speak these words:  Thy husband once, thy brother now, sends these lines to thee, chaste Neaera, and prays thee to accept the humble gift. He swears that thou art dearer to him than his very marrow, whether thou wilt be his sister or his wife. Better his wife: hope of this title shall only Diss wan waters take from him when his life is quenched.
