Original text and translations
Latin text
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.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
Harmony is the foundation of the world:
remove this bond and the heavens will fall and the solid ground give way:
so unless the minds of the spouses are joined in harmony
the marriage bed will not be blessed; the home will have no future.
