Friends stand afar; conscience accuses§1

1 My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague. Better a weak believer who confesses than one who hides — conscience already prosecutes; all things are naked before him.

Latin · §1

Amici mei et proximi mei adversum me appropinquaverunt et steterunt. Fidelis infirmus mugit pro delictis; conscientia accusatrix mecum est — cur exspecto accusatorem?

Confess and seek the cure§2

2Remember the fall, confess it, seek the wound’s cure. Glory to God. Amen.

Latin · §2

Memor delicti confiteatur quae commisit et medelam quaerat. Gloria Deo. Amen.
