Language: Latin
Available translation(s): ENG FRE ITA SPA
In trutina mentis dubia
fluctuant contraria
lascivus amor et pudicitia.
Sed eligo, quod video,
collum iugo prebeo;
ad iugum tamen suave transeo.

On my mind's vacillating scales
Language: English  after the Latin
On my mind's vacillating scales,
up and down pivot
voluptuous love and temperance.
Yet I choose what I see
and to the yoke I offer my neck
and to the sweet yoke I surrender.
