Ut terrestria bona | Ut terrestria bona fluxa retineamus? | ||

Oh, how empty our steps | |||
If we descend into vanity | |||
and love the wicked! | |||
If we stumble blindly | |||
And lose the eternal | |||
for a transient hold on earthly goods? | |||
we are insane And no better than animals | |||
If we are not born to eternal life. | |||
