Latin text
- In die tribulationis meae
- renuit consolari anima mea.
- Et anticipaverunt vigilias

English translation
When I was in distress, my soul refused to be comforted.
I could not sleep at night for weeping.
I was too troubled to speak.
All these things were the beginning of my sorrows.
(Text pieced together freely from Psalm 76:3,5 (Vulgate)/ Psalm 77:2,4 and Matthew 24:8, with two words from Lamentations 2:11)
