Original text and translations

Latin text

Flete oculi rorate genas pectusque rigetis
   Semper, semper enim sors fit acerba magis
Immo rigete nec os nec pectora moesta rigetis
   Nam fletus curas mollificare solet
Vita mihi est cujus miseram traducere vitam
   Utque obeam curis unica cura mea est
