Text and translations

Latin text

Omnes amici mei dereliquerunt me
et praevaluerunt insidiantes mihi:
tradidit me, quem diligebam.
Et terribilibus oculis plaga crudeli percutiens aceto potabant me.
Inter iniquos projecerunt me
et non pepercerunt animae meae.
Et terribilibus oculis plaga crudeli percutiens aceto potabant me.
 

English translation

All my friends have deserted me
And plotters have prevailed over me.
He whom I loved has betrayed me.
And with fierce looks and cruel blows they gave me vinegar to drink.
They cast me among the wicked
and did not spare my soul.
And with fierce looks and cruel blows they gave me vinegar to drink.
