Date: Sat 10 Sep 2022Original text:
Quattuor aequales currunt ex arte sorores
Sic quasi certantes, cum sit labor omnibus unus;
Et prope sunt pariter nec se contingere possunt.
Translation:
Four equal sisters run with skill
As if thus vying, though it be one work for all;
And they are equally close to one another, and they are not able to touch each other.
