LATIN

Impropérium exspectávit
cor meum, et misériam:
et sustínui qui simul
contristarétur, et non fuit:
consolántem me quaesívi,
et non invéni:
et dedérunt in escam meam fel,
et in siti mea
potavérunt me acéto.

TRANSLATION

My heart awaited reproach and misery;
and I hoped for one that would grieve together with me,
but there was non;
I looked for one who would comfort me,
and found no one.
For food they gave me gall;
in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
