Tibullus, Elegiae 3, 6, 49-50.
There will be no truth in her words. Jupiter laughs at the false oaths of lovers, and bids the winds carry them off without
fulfilment. |

Tibullus, Elegiae 1, 4, 23-24
Wees Juppiter maar dankbaar; want hijzelf ontkent de waarde van al wat dwaze liefdeslust bekrachtigt met een eed.
[tr. J. Nagelkerken, Baarn 1994, p. 32.] |
