Original text:

Non sumus aequales, quamvis ambaeque sorores.
Tetrica nam facie est una stans, altera pulchra.
Horrida sed requiem confert, et grata laborem.
Non simul et semper sumus at secernimur ipsi.

Translation:

We are not equals, although we are both sisters.
For one stands gloomy of face, the other, beautiful.
But the dreadful one brings rest, and the pleasant one, labour.
Always are we not together but are separated.
