Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature.
Every ruler is harsh whose laws is new.
For Hades is mighty in calling men to account below the earth, and with a mind that records in tablets he surveys all things.
The misfortunes of mankind are of varied plumage.
For the marriage bed ordained by fate for men and women is stronger than an oath and guarded by Justice.
Be it mine to draw from wisdom's fount, pure as it flows, that calm of soul which virtue only knows.
