“Hanc deus et melior lītem nātūra dirēmit.”

1916 translation by Frank Justus Miller God—or kindlier Nature—composed this strife;

“līte vacent aurēs, īnsānaque prōtinus absint / iūrgia; differ opus, līvida lingua, tuum!”

1851 translation by Henry T. Riley Let our ears be relieved from strife, and forthwith let maddening discords he far away; and thou envious tongue, postpone thy occupation.
