Sed bene si sapio, gratanda haec nunc mihi sors est, quae tibi conplacuit, multo potiora parante iam te, Christe, mihi, quam cum securior ipse placatum rebar nostris adsistere votis, cum mihi laeta domus magnis floreret abundans deliciis, nec pompa minor polleret honoris instructa obsequiis et turbis fulta clientum.
But if I am truly wise, I should now rejoice in this lot of mine which thou, O Christ, didst approve, since thou dost prepare for me far better things now than when, more free from care, I fancied that thy approval furthered my hopes; when my house was gay and prosperous in the great abundance of its luxury; and when the pageantry of my rank flourished no less in its setting of deferential crowds and throngs of supporting clients.
