Noble matrons, gather round me, and help me bury the bodies of my children. + 

Matrons + 

We will strew herbs and spices on their little bodies, and solemnize their funeral rites with ceremony. + 

Sapientia + 

Great is the generosity and wonderful the kindness you show to me and my dead. + 

Matrons + 

We would do anything to relieve your pain. + 

Sapientia + 

I know it. + 

Matrons + 

What place have you chosen for their burial? + 

Sapientia + 

It is three miles outside the city. I hope that is not too far for you? + 

Matrons + 

By no means. We will follow their bodies to the place you have chosen. + 
