Bemerkungen zur Übersetzung
et should be ‘est’.
This is a quote from Ovid's Heroides. It also appears in Shakespeare’s The taming of the shrew’ where it is used completely out of context and with a bogus translation, giving a funny effect for those familiar with the original.
Simois: a Trojan river sigeia tellus: Sigeum, where Achilles and Patroclus lived
