Hymen's Torch

Reading edition

The torch of love may be blown out wholly, but not that of Hymen. Whom the flame and its cheering light and genial warmth no longer bless, him the smoke stifles; for the spark is inextinguishable, save by death:­

nigro circumvelatus amictu Mæret Hymen, fumantque atræ sine lumine tædæ.
