Miles

Here is today's distich by John Owen, with an English translation by Thomas Harvey, 2.206. The paradox of love and war is a favorite of poets and painters, too. Here Owen amplifies the paradox of a love more dangerous than war with the contrast between Mars who is armed, armatus, and Venus who is nuda, with no visible weapons at all.

Miles
Infligat Mars multa licet tibi vulnera, non tam
Mars nocet armatus, quam tibi nuda Venus.

A SOULDIER
Though Wars give bloody Skarrs, yet more are harm’d
By naked Venus, than by Mars when arm’d.

The vocabulary is keyed to the DCC Latin Vocabulary list. There are only three words in this poem that are not on the DCC list:

licet conj. - although, granted that
Mars, Martis m. - Mars (Ares), god of war, war
