Mihi cordis gravitas res videtur gravis,
iocus est amabilis dulciorque favis.
quidquid Venus imperat, labor est suavis,
quae numquam in cordibus habitat ignavis.
To me, the heaviness of the heart seems to be heavy thing,
A joke is pleasant and sweeter than honeycomb.
Whatever Venus commands, is a pleasant work,

Via lata gradior more iuventutis,
implico me vitiis, immemor virtutis,
voluptatis avidus magis quam salutis,
mortuus in anima curam cutis.
I walk on a path having been suffered by the conduct of youth,
I entangled myself with vices, forgetful of virtue,
One greedy for pleasure more than for salvation,
having died in the soul I care for the living skin.
Praesul discretissime, veniam te precor:
morte bona morior, dulci nece necor,
meum pectus sauciat puellarum decor,
et quas tactu nequeo, saltem corde moechor.
Most reasonable bishop, I pray for your mercy:
I die a good death, I am murdered by a sweet violent death,
The elegance of girls wounds my chest,
and whom I am unable to touch, at least I commit adultery with my heart
