my wife and i want to get matching tattoos. anybody know any cool latin phrases? i was thinking in one soul, or something to that effect.
NVLLA potest mulier tantum se dicere amatam
uere, quantum a me Lesbia amata mea est.
nulla fides ullo fuit umquam foedere tanta,
quanta in amore tuo ex parte reperta mea est.
or in english
NO woman is so able to say she was loved
truly, as much as my Lesbia was loved by me
no such faith was there ever in any treaty
as much as was found from my part in my love of you
probably too long for a tatoo but you did ask ...
