quid mea si canis aetas candesceret annis, et faceret scissas languida ruga genas? at non Tithoni spernens Aurora senectam desertum Eoa passa iacere domost: illa deos currum conscendens dixit iniquos, invitum et terris praestitit officium; illum saepe suis descendens fovit in ulnis, nec prius abiunctos sedula lavit equos; illum ad vicinos cum amplexa quiesceret Indos, maturos iterumst questa redire dies.
What if my youth were whitening with the white of old age and drooping wrinkles furrowed my cheeks? Aurora did not scorn Tithonus, old though he was, or suffer him to lie deserted in the halls of the Dawn: she, as she mounted her car, called the gods unkind and performed unwilling service for the world; him, as she dismounted, she oft fondled in her arms and did not first busy herself with washing her unyoked steeds; him when she embraced, resting near the land of India, she lamented that the day returned again too soon.
