XIII. Verba Desjierationis.
XIII. Verba Desjierationis.
I am greatly terrified! I am very much afraid! And who could comfort me? And who could help me, and rescue me from the calamities that oppress me? The fire of hell surrounds me, and the zeal of the Lord has cast me into the abyss. And what do I have left, except death? I have no joy in good things, no consolation in my sins, nor is there anything good in any creature. y>

19. a Valde exterrita sum!
Et quis posset me consolari?
Et quis posset me adiuvare, et a calamitatibus quibus oppressa sum eripere?
Ignis gehennae circa me j> est, et zelus Domini in infernum projecit me.
Et quid mihi restat, nisi mors? j> Nullum gaudium in bonis, nullam consolationem in peccatis habeo, nec in ulla creatura quicquam boni est. y>
