Original text and translations

Cunctis diebus quibus nunc milito, expecto donec veniat immutatio mea.
Dimitte me ergo, ut plangam paululum dolorem meum,
Antequam vadam, ut non revertar ad terram miseriae ubi est nullus ordo, sed sempiternus horror inhabitat.
Job 14:14, 10:20-22

English.png English translation

All the days, in which I am now in warfare, I expect until my change do come.
Suffer me, therefore, that I may a little lament my sorrow:
Before I go, and return not, to a land of misery and darkness, where is no order, but everlasting horror inhabiteth.
