Original text and translations
Latin text
Fundamenta tenet mundi concordia,
vinclum hoc aufer coelum corruet atque solum:
Sic nisi conjugibus nectat concordia mentes,
nulla salus thalamo, nulla futura domo.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
Harmony is the foundation of the world:
remove this bond and the heavens will fall and the solid ground give way:
so unless the minds of the spouses are joined in harmony
the marriage bed will not be blessed; the home will have no future.
