<poem>Harmony is the foundation of the world:
<poem>Peace therefore be all around your house,
remove this bond and the heavens will fall and the solid ground give way:
you partners to the match, and may it keep discord far from there.
so unless the minds of the spouses are joined in harmony
Just as the turtledove dwells affectionately with its mate,
the marriage bed will not be blessed; the home will have no future.</poem>
so may you live out your days in happy intimacy, free from quarrels.</poem>

Pax ergo vestras circum circa ambiat aedes
o sponsi & rixas arceat inde procul.
Suaviter ut socio vivit cum turture turtur,
vivatis placidos et sine lite dies.

Peace therefore be all around your house,
you partners to the match, and may it keep discord far from there.
Just as the turtledove dwells affectionately with its mate,
so may you live out your days in happy intimacy, free from quarrels.
