Machine translation from the original · Show original
I am enveloped in shadow, (but) I also see the truth.
This is nothing but a strong hope,
What kind of hope is this? - the one that the eyes did not see.
What is she? - the life that everyone loves,
But what is this life if not God, the Creator of everything?
Love him, but hate this world.
The world is death, for does it have anything enduring (and incorruptible)?
In l. n. this little hymn is known as the penultimate 39th chapter of Divinorum amorum... And according to the table of contents of the hymns in P. r. it is also the penultimate 57 word there, which, of course, has not been preserved.
