nulli se dicit mulier mea nubere malle
no one she says woman my to marry prefers
quam mihi, non si se luppiter ipse petat,
then me, not if her juppiter himself sought
dicit: sed mulier cupido quod dicit amanti,
(so she) said but woman eager what says lover
in vento et rapida scribere oportet aqua.
wind and fast flowing write ought to be water
my woman says she prefered to marry no one
but me, not if Juppiter himself sought her.
So she says: but what a woman says to her eager lover
ought to be written in the wind and fast flowing water.
