Arise from bodily reclining; winter gone to itself
As to one still lying among bodily things he says: Arise; to the one who obeys: my near one, my dove. Lest she tremble at whirlwinds, he announces that winter has departed and the rain gone off to itself — vices depart to themselves, having no dwelling with God.
Latin
Quasi iacenti in corporeis dicit: Exsurge; oboedienti: proxima mea, columba mea. Ne trepidet ad turbines, adnuntiat hiemem discessisse et pluviam abiisse sibi — vitia sibi abeunt, nullam apud Deum mansionem habentia.
