Propertius, Elegiae 1, 14, 8
Liefde zwicht niet voor grote rijkdom. |
 |
Propertius, Elegiae 1, 14, 8
Love will not yield to all the might of wealth. |
|
Amor trapt op de rijkdom van de adel en haar eer, want hij doet niet onder [gaat niet aan de kant] voor oude voorouderbeelden.
Adel is ondergeschikt aan de Liefde, want vaak bevalt een boerenmeisje een koning en een prinses een boerenjongen. |
|
Love treads on the riches and the honors of the nobility, for he is not inferior to their ancient ancestors. Nobility is submitted
to Love, for often a girl from the country pleases a king and a princes a countryman. |
