Lectio Nona
Language: Latin
Quare de vulva eduxisti me? qui utinam consumptus essem, ne oculus me videret! Fuissem quasi non essem, de utero translatus ad tumulum. Numquid non paucitas dierum meorum finietur brevi? Dimitte me ergo, ut plangam paululum dolorem meum: antequam vadam, et non revertar, ad terram tenebrosam et opertam mortis caligine, terram miseriae et tenebrarum, ubi umbra mortis, et nullus ordo, sed sempiternus horror inhabitat.
