He that is down needs fear no fall
|
He that is down needs fear no fall, He that is low no pride; He that is humble ever shall Have God to be his guide. I am content with what I have, Little be it or much; And, Lord, contentment still I crave, Because thou savest such. Fullness to such a burden is That go on pilgrimage; Here little, and hereafter bliss, Is best from age to age. |
Deiectus casum non timet neque superbiam, Deusque semper diriget summissam animam. Seu pauper sive locuples, contentus ego sum eroque; nempe, Deus, es salvator talium. Imponit rerum copia viantibus moras: viventi sit inopia et post felicitas. |
