IV

Virtutes magnas de viribus offero parvis:
Pando domos clausas, iterum sed claudo patentes;
Servo domum domino, sed rursus servor ab ipso.

Peck:

Great deeds with little strength I do,
I close the open, ope the closed for you.
I keep the master's house, the master keeps me, too.

Ohl:

Great powers from little strength I bring. I open closed houses, but again I close the open. I guard the house for the master, but in turn am guarded by him.
