They visited a thousand houses looking for rest and a room, but a thousand houses were closed by a bolt. However, one house received them, small indeed and covered with straw and reeds from a marsh, but dutiful Baucis the old woman and Philemon equal in age in this house were joined in marriage, and in this house they grew old together, and by admitting poverty without a disconted spirit they made light of it. It does not matter whether you ask for the masters of slaves: te two were the whole house, both ordering and obeying the same. Therefore when the gods arrived at the small home and entered the low door with bowed heads, the old man told them to relax their limbs on a couch, over the seat of which Baucis threw a rough cloth. Then she raked through the warm ashes in the hearth and rekindled yesterday's fire with leaves and fed it with dry bark, and coaxed the flames with the spirit of a old woman, and she brought down finely split sticks and twigs from the roof space and chopped them up into small pieces and placed them under a cauldron, and she also stripped vegetables, which her husband had collected from the well-watered garden, of their leaves; with a two-pronged fork he lifted blackened backs of pork hanging from a beam, and made tender by boiling a very small part which had been kept for a long time. Meanwhile they whiled away the intervening hours with conversation and prevented the delay from being felt. There was a bowl of beechwood hanging by it s handle from a heavy nail; it was filled with warm water and accepted limbs for refreshing. In the middle of the room was a mattress stuffed with soft sedge placed on a couch with a willow frame and feet; garments which they were accustomed to spread out at festive times covered this couch, but even these garments were cheap and old, and suitable for a willow couch. The gods reclined. \pend \endnumbering \end{Rightside} \Columns \setstanzaindents{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0} \begin{Leftside} \firstlinenum{0} \linenumincrement{0} \beginnumbering \begin{astanza} $\ldots$ & \strut & \strut & \strut & $\ldots$ & \strut & \strut & \strut & $\ldots$ \& \end{astanza} \begin{astanza} $\ldots$ & \strut & \strut & \strut & $\ldots$ & \strut & \strut & \strut & $\ldots$ \& \end{astanza} \endnumbering \end{Leftside} \begin{Rightside} \firstlinenum{0} \linenumincrement{0} \beginnumbering \selectlanguage{english} \pstart The old lady with her skirts tucked up and with shaking hands set up the table. One of its three legs was too short so she put a piece of pottery under it to make it level; then she wiped the top over with fresh green mint. Next she set out some olives, green ones and black ones (the berries of the maiden goddess Minerva), some wild cornel-cherries picked in the autumn and pickled in wine lees, endives and radishes, cream cheese, and eggs lightly roasted in the warm ashes of the fire. All these things were served on plates of earthenware. \pend \pstart Next a mixing bowl of the same material and with a raised pattern was put upon the table; then cups made of beechwood coated on the inside with yellow wax. There wasn't long to wait before the great banquet was brought piping hot from the fireplace. Some wine which wasn't very old was poured out, and then put to one side to make room for the second course: nuts and figs, dried dates, plums, sweet-smelling apples in wide baskets and purple grapes freshly picked from the vines. In the middle was a beautiful white honeycomb. Added to all this there were honest faces and rich good nature. \pend \endnumbering \end{Rightside} \Columns \setstanzaindents{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0} \begin{Leftside} \firstlinenum{0} \linenumincrement{5} \beginnumbering \begin{astanza} \selectlanguage{latin} \advanceline{35} intere\=a toti\=ens haustum cr\=at\=era repl\=er\=i & sponte su\=a per s\=eque vident succr\=escere v\=ina; & attonit\=i novit\=ate pavent manibusque sup\=in\=is & concipiunt Baucisque prec\=es timidusque Phil\=em\=on & et veniam dapibus n\=ull\=isque par\=atibus \=orant. & \=unicus \=anser erat, minimae cust\=odia v\=illae, & quem d\=is hospitibus domin\=i mact\=are par\=abant; & ille celer penn\=a tard\=os aet\=ate fat\=igat & \=el\=uditque di\=u tandemque est v\=isus ad ips\=os & c\=onf\=ugisse de\=os. super\=i vetu\=ere nec\=ar\=i & `d\=i'que `sumus, merit\=asque luet v\=ic\=inia poen\=as & impia' d\=ix\=erunt; `v\=ob\=is imm\=unibus huius & esse mal\=i dabitur. modo vestra relinquite t\=ecta & ac nostr\=os comit\=ate grad\=us et in ardua montis & \=ite simul.' p\=arent amb\=o bacul\=isque lev\=at\=i & n\=ituntur long\=o vest\=igia p\=onere cl\=iv\=o. & tantum aberant summ\=o, quantum semel \=ire sagitta & missa potest; flex\=ere ocul\=os et mersa pal\=ude & c\=etera pr\=ospiciunt, tantum sua t\=ecta man\=ere. \& \end{astanza} \endnumbering \end{Leftside} \begin{Rightside} \firstlinenum{0} \linenumincrement{0} \beginnumbering \selectlanguage{english} \pstart Meanwhile they saw that as often as the wine-mixing bowl was emptied it was refilled of its own accord and they saw wine spring up spontaneously; astonished at the strangeness Baucis and timid Philemon were fearful and with their hands facing upwards they uttered prayers and begged for pardon for the unprepared feast. There was a single goose, the guard of the small cottage, which the owners prepared to sacrifice to their guests the gods; with quick wing he wore out those tired by age and escaped them for a long time until at last it seemed to flle for refuge with the gods themselves. The gods forbade it to be killed and said `We are gods, and the evil neighbourhood will pay its deserved penalty; `you will be allowed to escape this disaster. Just leave behind your home and accompany our steps and go to the heights of the mountain together.' They both obeyed and, supported by their staffs, they struggled to place their footsteps on the long hill-side. They were as far from the top as it is possible to fire an arrow in one shot; they turned their eyes and saw a marsh submerge all the others, with only their house remaining. \pend \endnumbering \end{Rightside} \Columns \setstanzaindents{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,8,0} \begin{Leftside} \firstlinenum{0} \linenumincrement{5} \beginnumbering \begin{astanza} \selectlanguage{latin} \advanceline{54} dumque ea m\=rantur, dum d\=eflent f\=ata su\=orum, & illa vetus domin\=is etiam casa parva du\=obus & vertitur in templum; furc\=as subi\=ere columnae, & str\=amina fl\=av\=escunt aur\=ataque t\=ecta videntur & cael\=ataeque for\=es adopertaque marmore tell\=us. & t\=alia tum placid\=o S\=aturnius \=edidit \=ore: & `d\=icite, i\=uste senex et f\=emina coniuge i\=ust\=o & digna, quid opt\=etis.' cum Baucide pauca loc\=utus & i\=udicium super\=is aperit comm\=une Phil\=em\=on: & `esse sacerd\=ot\=es d\=el\=ubraque vestra tu\=er\=i & poscimus, et quoniam concord\=es \=egimus ann\=os, & auferat h\=ora du\=os eadem, nec coniugis umquam & busta meae videam neu sim tumulandus ab ill\=a.' & v\=ota fid\=es sequitur; templ\=i t\=ut\=ela fu\=ere, & d\=onec v\=ita data est. ann\=is aev\=oque sol\=ut\=i & ante grad\=us sacr\=os cum st\=arent forte loc\=ique & n\=arr\=arent c\=as\=us, frond\=ere Phil\=emona Baucis, & Baucida c\=onspexit senior frond\=ere Phil\=em\=on. & iamque super gemin\=os cr\=escente cac\=umine vult\=us & m\=utua, dum licuit, redd\=ebant dicta `val\=e'que & `\=o coni\=unx' d\=ix\=ere simul, simul abdita t\=exit & \=ora frutex. & \emph{Ovid} \& \end{astanza} \endnumbering \end{Leftside} \begin{Rightside} \firstlinenum{0} \linenumincrement{0} \beginnumbering \selectlanguage{english} \pstart And while they gazed in wonder at it, and while they wept at the fate of te others, their old cottage, small even for two inhabitants, was turned into a temple; columns took the place of supports, the straw turned yellow and the roof was seen to be gilded, and the roof carved, and the ground covered with marble. Then from his calm mouth Jupiter said these things: `Say what you want, honest old man and soman worthy of an honest husband.' Having spoken with Baucis a little Philemon revealed their shared decision to the gods: `We wish to be priests and to watch over youru shrine, and since we have spent our years in harmony, let us be carried away at the same time, and let me never see the tomb of my wife, and may I not have to be buried by her.' The prayer was fulfilled; while they lived they were the guardians of the temple. Worn out by the years and by old age they stood by chance before the sacred steps discussing the events, when Baucis noticed Philemona growing leaves, and the older Philemon saw Baucis growing leaves. Now a tree-top grew over the faces of both, while it was possible they exchanged words in turn, saying at the same time `Farewell', and `O spouse', and at once greenery covered and hid their faces. \pend \endnumbering \end{Rightside} \Columns \end{pairs} \section*{\emph{v\=ita r\=ustica et v\=ita urb\=ana}} \subsection*{\emph{The city, hour by hour}} \begin{pairs} \setstanzaindents{1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,8} \begin{Leftside} \memorydump \firstlinenum{0} \linenumincrement{5} \beginnumbering \begin{astanza} \selectlanguage{latin} pr\=ima sal\=utant\=es atque altera conterit h\=ora;

In short, he begrudged him neither the chick-peas he had stored up nor the long oats, and he gave him half-eaten scraps of bacon, carrying in his mouth raisins desiring with varied food to overcome the choosiness of his friend who barely touched the individual items with his haughty teeth, while the owner of the house himself stretched out on this year's chaff ate grain and weeds, leaving the better parts of the meal. At last the town mouse said to the country mouse `Why do you like, friend, to live uncomplaining on a ridge in the steep woods? Wouldn't you prefer the city and men to the wild woods? Travel as my companion, believe me; since earthly creatures live with mortal souls, and there is no escape for death for either great or small: for this reason, old chap, while it is possible, live happily in joyful things; live remembering how short-lived you are.' When he heard these words the country mouse jumped nimbly out of his home; then they both carried out the proposed journey, being eager to creep under the city walls by night. And now it was midnight, when each of them set foot in a wealthy house, where coverlets dyed with bright scarlet gleamed on top of ivory couches. And there were many dishes of food leftover from yesterday which were piled in baskets close by. Therefore when the town mouse placed the country mouse in a purple robe, he ran about like a slave with clothes tucked up and kept supplying the feast and also slavishly performed every single duty, tasting in advance all that was offered. The country mouse, reclining, rejoiced at the change in fortune and the good things and played the part of the appy guest, when suddenly a great commotion of doors tossed them both off their couches. They ran through the whole room terrified, and they were the more alarmed, when the high house resounded with Molossian dogs. Then the country mouse said `This type of life is not for me', and `Farewell: a wood and cave free from danger and a meagre vetch will cheer me up'. \pend \endnumbering \end{Rightside} \Columns \end{pairs} \end{document}
