Estuans
interius Burning
inside
ira vehementi with
violent anger,
in amaritudine
bitterly
loquor mee menti: I speak to my heart:
factus de materia,
created from matter,
cinis elementi of
the ashes of the elements,
similis sum folio, I am
like a leaf
de quo ludunt venti. played
with by the winds.
Cum sit enim proprium If
it is the way
viro sapienti of
the wise man
supra petram ponere to
build
sedem fundamenti,
foundations on stone,
stultus ego comparor the
I am a fool, like
fluvio labenti, a
flowing stream,
sub eodem tramite
which in its course
nunquam permanenti. never
changes.
Feror ego veluti I am
carried along
sine nauta navis, like a ship without a
steersman,
ut per vias aeris and
in the paths of the air
vaga fertur avis; like
a light, hovering bird;
non me tenent vincula,
chains cannot hold me,
non me tenet clavis, keys
cannot imprison me,
quero mihi similes I
look for people like me
et adiungor pravis. and
join the wretches.
Mihi cordis gravitas The
heaviness of my heart
res videtur gravis; seems like a burden to me;
iocis est amabilis it
is pleasant to joke
dulciorque favis; and
sweeter than honeycomb;
quicquid Venus imperat,
whatever Venus commands
labor est suavis, is a
sweet duty,
que nunquam in cordibus she
never dwells
habitat ignavis. in a
lazy heart.
Via lata gradior I
travel the broad path
more iuventutis as
is the way of youth,
inplicor et vitiis I
give myself to vice,
immemor virtutis,
unmindful of virtue,
voluptatis avidus I am
eager for the pleasures of the flesh
magis quam salutis, more
than for salvation,
mortuus in anima my
soul is dead,
curam gero cutis. so I
shall look after the flesh.
