Tibullus 3.2

Qui primus caram iuueni carumque puellae eripuit iuuenem, ferreus ille fuit;	That man who first ripped away the young man from the love of him and of his girl, he was made of iron;
durus et ille fuit, qui tantum ferre dolorem, uiuere et erepta coniuge qui potuit.	And he was harsh, he who was able to bring such sorrow, and he who was able to live with a wife having been stolen away.
Non ego firmus in hoc, non haec patientia nostro 5 ingenio: frangit fortia corda dolor;	I am not firm in this respect, there is no tolerance in my character: sorrow shatters stronger hearts;
nec mihi uera loqui pudor est uitaeque fateri, tot mala perpessae, taedia nata meae.	There is shame to me to speak true things and I confess that so many evils are born as the boredoms of my life.
Ergo cum tenuem fuero mutatus in umbram candidaque ossa supra nigra fauilla teget, 10	Therefore, when I will have been changed into an airy shadow and `black embers cover above my bleached bones,
ante meum ueniat longos incompta capillos et fleat ante meum maesta Neaera rogum;	before my funeral pyre might come a disheveled woman with long hair and grieving Neaera cries before my cremation;
sed ueniat carae matris comitata dolore: maereat haec genero, maereat illa uiro.	But she might come accompanied by the grief of a beloved mother:  the latter grieving for a son,  the former for a husband.
Praefatae ante meos manes animamque precatae 15 perfusaeque pias ante liquore manus,	They addressed a preliminary prayer to my shade, and they prayed to my spirit and first drenched their dutiful hands with water,
pars quae sola mei superabit corporis, ossa incinctae nigra candida ueste legent	She who alone will overcome is part of my body, those dressed in a black cloak collect my bleached bones
et primum annoso spargent collecta lyaeo, mox etiam niueo fundere lacte parent, 20	And first sprinkle my collected bones with old wine, and even next let them prepare to drench with white milk,
post haec carbaseis umorem tollere uelis atque in marmorea ponere sicca domo.	After which, let them prepare to take away the liquid with linen cloths and to place me, when dry, in my marble home.
Illic quas mittit diues Panchaia merces Eoique Arabes, diues et Assyria,	Then incense be established which rich Panchaia sent and Eastern Arabia, and rich Assyria,
et nostri memores lacrimae fundantur eodem: 25 sic ego componi uersus in ossa uelim.	and let tears remembering of me come forth in that same place: thus I would like to be buried when turned into bones.
Sed tristem mortis demonstret littera causam atque haec in celebri carmina fronte notet:	But let the inscription of  death establish the sad occasion and note these verses on its famous face:
LYGDAMVS HIC SITVS EST: DOLOR HVIC ET CVRA NEAERAE, CONIVGIS EREPTAE, CAVSA PERIRE FVIT 30	HERE LIES LYGDAMUS: HIS HEART- RENDING LOVE FOR NEAERA, THE WIFE TAKEN FROM HIM, WAS THE CAUSE OF HIS DEATH.
