Nec multo post saeculi curis absolutus ad monasterium Mailros, quod Tuidi fluminis circumflexu maxima ex parte clauditur, pervenit; acceptaque tonsura, locum secretae mansionis quam praeviderat abbas, intravit: et ibi usque ad diem mortis in tanta mentis et corporis contritione duravit, ut multa illum, quae alios laterent, vel horrenda vel desideranda vidisse, etiamsi lingua sileret, vita loqueretur.
And not long after, despatched of all worldly cares, he went to the monastery of Melrose, the which is almost closed in with a creek of the river Tweed; where being shoren in, he went into a place of abode apart, which the abbot had provided: and continued there until his dying day in such contrition of mind and mortification of body, that even if his tongue did not report, yet his life bare witness, that he had seen many things either terrible or comfortable, which were hidden from other.
