PILGRIM OF LOVE


Behold we pious pilgrims here
All human hopes we've sunk
Yee worldlings would have naught to fear
If yee would ape the monk

In sackcloth and with shaven pate
Dry crusts my needs supply
The giddy world I reprobate
The flesh I mortify

I live within a little cell
My eyes are cast above
Too fast I live, too fast I live
I am a pilgrim of love

I do not itch for wealth or fame (I do not itch)
I have no ghastly faults (I have no gas)
My feet are flat upon the ground (My feet are flat)
I have no fleece-lined underwear (I have no fleas)

I am all innocent of wrong (I am all in)
I am an utter saint (I am a nut)
My mind's on pious things above (my mind's on pie)
I am a messenger of love (I am a mess)

VITAE INTEGRITATEM

Integer vitae scelerisque purus
non eget Mauris iaculis neque arcu
nec venenatis gravida sagittis
Fusce pharetra

sive per Syrtis iter aestuosas
sive facturus per inhospitalem
Caucasum vel quae loca fabulosus
lambit Hydaspes.

namque me silva lupus in Sabina
dum meam canto Lalagen et ultra
terminum curis vagor expeditis
fugit inermem;

quale portentum neque militaris
Daunias latis alit aesculetis
nec Iubae tellus generat leonum
arida nutrix.

pone me pigris ubi nulla campis
arbor aestiva recreatur aura
quod latus mundi nebulae malusque
Iuppiter urget;

pone sub curru nimium propinqui
solis in terra domibus negata:
dulce ridentem Lalagen amabo
dulce loquentem.
