Ego sum abbas Cucaniensis
Language: Latin
Ego sum abbas Cucaniensis et consilium meum est cum bibulis, et in secta Decii voluntas mea est, et qui mane me quesierit in taberna, post vesperam nudus egredietur, et sic denudatus veste clamabit: Wafna, wafna! quid fecisti sors turpissima? nostre vite gaudia abstulisti omnia!
