Read the original Catalan
Major egaltat damic amar e amat: portats' mos eguals dcsirers suspirs e plors a mon amat, per so qucl preguen quem perdó mon peccat.

Notes
- 1 ↩Normalized corruptions in the supplied reading: damic → d'amic; dcsirers → desirs; qucl → que'l; quem → que'm. 'Major egaltat' read as 'major egualtat' (greater equality), matching Llull's ternary amic / amar / amat.
