Pactus Agenoream primis Atys ibat ab annis Ismenen, Tyrii iuvenis non advena belli, quamvis Cirrha domus, soceros nec tristibus actis aversatus erat; sponsam quin castus amanti squalor et indigni commendat gratia luctus.
Young Atys was betrothed from earliest years to Agenorian Ismene, no stranger in the Tyrian army though Cirrha was his home. He had not turned away from his brides parents because of the sad history. Nay, her chaste desolation and the favour due to unmerited affliction commended the betrothed to her lover.
