NON TIMEBIT A FRIGORIBUS NIVIS

SECURITATI IN ADVERSIS
Palma fides, sed lampas amor, spes est rosa, vincis/t.
Si triplica hac hyemis frigora veste fugas.
Palma viret, lampas lucet, rubet hinc rosa, sed quae
Accipit obiecto maius ab hoste decus.
Cingeris adversis, tenebrae sunt pondera, spinae
Hostis at ut crescas altius, ille dabit.

Sapientiam enim et disciplinam qui abjicit infelix est; et vacua est spes illorum, et labores sine fructu, et inutilia opera eorum.

ABIERUNT IN UOLUPTATIBUS IN PRAUITATE CORDIS SUI
Et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam : sed abierunt in voluntatibus et in pravitate cordis sui mali : factique sunt retrorsum, et non in ante,
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear: but walked in their own will, and in the perversity of their wicked heart: and went backward and not forward,
