Exul ego clericus
Language: Latin
Exul ego clericus ad laborem natus tribulor multociens paupertati datus. Literarum studiis vellem insudare, nisi quod inopia cogit me cessare. Ille meus tenuis nimis est amictus, sepe frigus patior calore relictus. Interesse laudibus non possum divinis, nec missae nec vesperae, dum cantetur finis. Decus N. dum sitis insigne, postulo suffragia de vobis iam digne. Ergo mentem capite similem Martini, vestibus induite corpus peregrini, Ut vos Deus transferat ad regna polorum, ibi dona conferat vobis beatorum.
