Reverentiam in matrimonio requiri.
Respect is required in marriage
EMBLEMA CXCI.
Cum furit in Venerem, pelagi se in littore sistit
Vipera, & ab stomacho dira venena vomit:[1]
Muraenamque ciens ingentia sibila tollit,
At simul amplexus appetit illa viri.
Maxima debetur thalamo reverentia: coniux
Alternum debet coniugi & obsequium.[2]
When the viper is sexually aroused, it stations itself on the sea-shore and ejects the dread poisons from its gut. To summon the moray eel, it raises a loud hissing, but she at the same time desires the embrace of her mate. - Great reverence is owed to the marriage bed, and the partners owe each other mutual respect.
