Τῷ μ' ἐγὼ ἀφραδέοντα κατέστυγον, οἷον ἔοργα

Νήπιος, ὡς αἴσχιστον ἐν ἀνθρώποισιν ἐόντα.

Ἀλλ' ἐπεὶ ἀασάμην φρεσὶ λευγαλέῃσι πιθήσας,

Τὔνεκά τ' ἐν κονίῃ εἰλυμένος ἠδ' ἐνὶ τέφρῃ

Προπροκυλινδόμενός σέ τε νῦν σά τε γούναθ' ἱκάνω,

"Ἀτίω μὲν κλαίων, μέγα δ' ἄχνυμαι, οἷον ἀάσθην·

"Ὦμοι ἐγὼ δειλός· σὺ δ' ἵλαον ἔνθεο θυμόν.

[6] Therefore I loathed myself, being foolish, seeing what I have done, like a fool, since I am the most shameful among men. But since I erred, trusting in wretched thoughts, therefore, wrapped in dust and in ashes, rolling over and over, I now come to you and to your knees, grieving as I weep, and I am greatly distressed, at how I erred. Woe is me, wretched that I am! But do you put on a gracious heart.

Quamobrem memet ego delirantem abhorreo (quale dixi

Inſipiens ) velut turpiſſimum inter homines exiſtentem.

Sed quoniam peccavi animo perdito obtemperans,

Ideo in pulvere obrectus & et in cinere

Pronus revolutus ad te nunc tuáque genua accedo,

Culpam meam deflens, multum autẽ autem doleo quòd-ſic peccavi:

Heu me miſerum! tu autem propitium ſume animum.
