Estuans interius Burning inside   ira vehementi with violent anger   in amaritudine bitterly I speak    loquor mee menti: 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 foundations on stone   sedem fundamenti,    stultus ego comparor then I am a fool   fluvio labenti, like a flowing stream    sub eodem tramite which in its course never changes   nunquam permanenti.       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 virtue   voluptatis avidus I am eager for the pleasures of the flesh    magis quam salutis, more than salvation   mortuus in anima my soul is dead   curam gero cutis. so, I shall look after the flesh.
