XI. Verba irae.
XI. Verba irae.
I trample down and bow down to everything that brings me harm. So why should I endure an injury? Why should I endure an injury? What anyone wants, let them not do to me. For I strike with a sword and beat with clubs when someone has done me an injury.
Read the original Latin
22. c Ego conculco et prostemo omne quod mihi injuriam infert.
Quare injuriam sustinerem?
Quod quilibet vult ne sibi inferam, hoc etiaiti mihi non faciat.
Nam gladio vulnero, et fustibus caedo, cum aliquis injuriam raihi fecerit.»
