Translations
 |
Geliefden hebben alles gemeenschappelijk. |
 |
Lovers have everything in common. |
|
Zie, Fortuna geeft de twee geliefden in één beker bitter en zoet door elkaar.. |
|
Look, Fortune gives the two lovers bitter and sweet mixed in one bowl. |
|
Tacitus, Germania 18, 4
Opdat de vrouw niet waant dat zij staat buiten de sfeer van het denken aan de plichten van de man, buiten de sfeer ook van
de wisselvallige kansen van oorlogen, wordt zij er reeds aanstonds bij de inwijdingsriten op de drempel van het huwelijk aan
vermaand dat zij het huis van haar man betreedt als deelgenote in diens moeiten en gevaren en dat zij zowel in dagen van vrede
als in dagen van strijd hetzelfde zal moeten doorstaan en bestaan.
[vert. J.W. Meijer; Baarn 1992, p. 187-188] |

Tacitus, Germania 18, 4
That the wife may not imagine herself exempt from thoughts of heroism, released from the chances of war, she is thus warned
by the very rites with which her marriage begins that she comes to share hard work and peril; that her fate will be the same
as his in peace and in panic, her risks the same. [tr. M. Hutton, E.H. Warmington, Loeb, p. 159] |
