An putatis illum ieiunare, fratres, qui primo diluculo non ad ecclesiam uigilat, non beatorum martyrum loca sancta perquirit, sed surgens congregat seruulos disponit retia canes producit saltus siluas que perlustrat?
‘Do you think that a person fasts, brethren, who is not keeping watch in church at the first light of dawn, who does not seek out the holy places of the blessed martyrs, but, upon arising, gathers his slaves together, gets his nets in order, leads out his dogs, and goes all through the woodlands and the forests?’
Text: Mutzenbacher 1962. Translation: Ramsey 1989.
