Thesium de vita aeterna et eius haeredibus decades X

I considered, Father Galherus, wandering upon the earth,
to wear away all human things with ten thousand sorrows by toil,
ineffable anxieties still, and fear of death,
us seeking and few things remaining certain,
immediately neither work, nor material wealth, nor
bettered tumults did I know to save those who are dying:
but the mysteries of God, and a blessed life in these
to be the only portion unremovable to all mortals.

Therefore I have left behind few things in the present life, and the most things I have desired
heavenly salvations, of which I began to inquire alone.
And this prudent man, knowing all divine wisdom,
living, whom the goddess also adorned, gray-eyed original: "γλαυκῶπις", Athena/Minerva
Jacob Grynaeus, who loves the dearest labor
of pious teaching, although every barking forest
cries against, not of which the just man of prayer
but concerning the happy life he wrote, a full
treasure, a life and measure to obtain.
If then come, Father Galherus (for I know that you, as our father,
pay attention to the study and the shoots/designs)
rejoice together, and praise our attempt.
