Thank you very much.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Fortiter: The other meaning of "capio" (attack) is not correct in this context. In fact we have here an endiadic rhythm or pattern. So, "grate" is linked to/"repeated" by similar-meaning "volens" and, in a similar way, "accipio" with "capio"

  -> thanks, so willingly take it or accept it is the precise meaning..., Grazie!
agree  danya: probably "gratefully accept", rather than "with pleasure greet"
