Quae peritura cito illo me in tempore amasse nunc piget et tandem sensu meliore senescens utiliter subtracta mihi cognosco fuisse, amissis opibus terrenis atque caducis perpetuo potius mansura ut quaerere nossem' sero quidem, sed nil umquam, deus, est tibi serum, qui sine fine manens miserandi ponere finem nescis et ignaris solis succurrere nosti praeveniendo prior multorum vota precantum et supra quam petimus bona nobis prospiciendo ambiguisque etiam, quid pro se quisque precetur, plura petita negas, magis apta his dare paratus, qui sapiunt tua dona suis praeponere votis.
That in those days I loved such things, quickly doomed to perish, I now regret, and with perception improving with old age I recognise at last that to my profit they were withdrawn from me, that by the loss of earthly and failing riches I might learn to seek rather those which will endure for ever. Tis late, indeed, but nought, O God, is ever late with thee who, continuing without end, knowest not how to make an end of pity, and knowest how to aid those who unaided know not how, by anticipating the prayers of many ere they ask, and by providing good things for us beyond what we seek'and who to the misguided also, whatso each one prays for himself, dost refuse full many a request, though ready to grant things more expedient to those wise enough to prefer thy gifts to their own wishes.
