Non illuwm nostri possunt mutare labores;

Non si frigoribus mediis Hebrumque bibamus,

Sithoniasque nives hyemis subeamus aquosae:----

Omnia vincit amor. VIRG. Ec. x. 64.

Love alters not for us his hard decrees,

Not though beneath the Thracian clime we freeze,

Or the mild bliss of temperate skies forego,

And in mid winter tread Sithonian snow:----

Love conquers all.----
