quam ieiuna pium desideret ara cruorem, doctast amisso Laodamia viro, coniugis ante coacta novi dimittere collum quam veniens una atque altera rursus hiemps noctibus in longis avidum saturasset amorem, posset ut abrupto vivere coniugio, quod scibant Parcae non longo tempore abesse, si miles muros isset ad Iliacos:
How much the starved altar craves for the blood of pious sacrifices, Laodamia learnt by the loss of her husband, forced to loose her arms from the neck of her new spouse, before the coming of one and then a second winter with its long nights should content her passionate love, that she might endure to live, though her husband was taken from her; and this the Fates knew would come in no long time, if once he went as a soldier to the walls of Ilium.
