II. IN TABERNA

11. ESTUANS INTERIUS

Estuans interius

ira vehementi

in amaritudine

loquor mee menti:

factus de materia,

cinis elementi

similis sum folio,

de quo ludunt venti.

Cum sit enim proprium

viro sapienti

supra petram ponere

sedem fundamenti,

stultus ego comparor

fluvio labenti,

sub eodem tramite

nunquam permanenti.

Feror ego veluti

sine nauta navis,

ut per vias aeris

vaga fertur avis;

non me tenent vincula,

non me tenet clavis,

quero mihi similes

et adiungor pravis.

Mihi cordis gravitas

res videtur gravis;

iocus est amabilis

dulciorque favis;

quicquid Venus imperat,

labor est suavis,

post vesperam nudus egredietur,

et sic denudatus veste clamabit:

Wafna, wafna!

quid fecisti sors turpissima?

Nostre vite gaudia

abstulisti omnia!

Haha!

II. IN THE TAVERN

11. BURNING INSIDE

Burning inside

with violent anger,

bitterly

I speak my heart:

Created from matter,

of the ashes of the elements,

I am like a leaf

played with by the winds.

If it is the way

of the wise man

to build

foundations on stone,

then I am a fool, like

a flowing stream,

which in its course

never changes.

I am carried along

like a ship without a steersman,

and in the paths of the air

like a light, hovering bird;

chains cannot hold me,

keys cannot imprison me,

I look for people like me

and join the wretches.

The heaviness of my heart

seems a burden to me;

it is pleasant to joke

and sweeter than honeycomb;

whatever Venus commands

is a sweet duty

after Vespers he will leave naked,

and thus stripped of his clothes he will call

out:

Woe! Woe!

what have you done, vilest Fate?

The joys of my life

you have taken all away!

Haha!
