atque adeo primum hoc mihi noscere detur: tertia canet hiems: cui conubialia vincla aut thalami secretus honos? cui coniuge pectus intepuit? cuius vidit Lucina labores, dicite, vel iustos cuius pulsantia menses vota tument? qua pace feras volucresque iugari mos datus.
And let me know this first: the third winter is white: who had bonds of wedlock or secret grace of the bedchamber? Whose bosom warmed with her mate? Whose pains did Lucina see, tell me, or whose prayers swell, kicking the appointed months? Custom grants that wild beasts and birds be joined under that covenant.
