Tac.de Mor.Germ.
Ne se mulier extra virtutum cogitationes extraque; bellorum casus
putet, ipsis incipientis matrimonij auspicijs admonetur, venire se
laborum periculorumque; sociam, idem in pace, idem in prælio pas-
suram, ausuramque.translationtranslation

Lyke fortune to both.
Fortune one cup doth fill equall to lovers twayn,
And how-so-ere the taste bee either sowre or sweet,
To one and vnto both it equally is meet,
That either haue his parte in pleasure or in payn.

Commune è il tutto.
Fortuna mele e fele in vna tazza
Versa à gl’amanti, il bene e il male insieme
Ambo si godon’ fino al’ hore estreme;
(Ahi) ch’vccide ambeduo chi l’vno amazza.

Alles ghemeen.
Fortuyn twee lieven schenckt/ soo wel aen d’een’/ als d’ander,
Maer een ghelijcken dranck/ gheluck/ of teghenspoet,
Het gheen dat d’eene lijdt oock d’ander lijden moet.
Ghelieven hebben ’t al ghemeynsaem met malckander.

Tout commun.
Fortune en un hanap pour les deux Amans verse
Son miel, avec son fiel, si l’un à du hasard,
Et le vent à souhait, l’autre en a bien sa part:
Aussi sentent tous deux le coup que l’un renuerse.

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]
