Tristitia
Language: Latin
In lectulo quaero meo, amore cuius langueo. querorque, cordi quod meo carum videre non queo. quid cesso? surgo, semitas percurro, qua stat civitas. querorque, cordi quod meo carum videre non queo. vidistis inquam vos eum, quem deperit pectus meum? vos dico, quorum moenia haec tuta sunt custodia. at ecce cum dicto meo, amore cuius langueo, adest et ad matrem meam mecum venit, ne maeream.
