Iugum sororium consponsae factionis , ne parentibus quidem visis , recta de navibus scopulum petunt illum praecipiti cum velocitate , nec venti ferentis oppertae praesentiam , licentiosa cum temeritate prosiliunt in altum .
Wedded together in conspiracy , her sisters , landing at the nearest harbour , and not even troubling to visit their parents , now hurried to the cliff , and with wild recklessness , not waiting for the attendant breeze , flung themselves into the air .
Now her sisters arrived on land , and never rested til they came to the rock , without visiting their parents , and leapt down rashly from the hill themselves .
