Original text and translations

Latin text

Felle amaro me potavit populus
et aceto; non illi dedi amaras aquas
in deserto, sed latices suaves.
Viri aspide surda
surdiores et saeviores,
quid a me vultis adhuc?
Jam moriar pro vobis.

English translation
by Carlos Augusto Mourão

The multitude gave me bitter gall to drink
and vinegar; I did not give them bitter waters
in the desert, but sweet fluids.
O men, more insensible and savage
than a furtive snake,
what do you still want from me?
Just now, I shall die for you.

Portuguese translation
by Carlos Augusto Mourão

O povo me deu a beber fel amargo
e vinagre; não lhes dei águas amargas
no deserto, mas água doce.
Oh homens, mais insensíveis e ferozes
que uma víbora furtiva,
o que ainda quereis de mim?
Agora mesmo, darei a vida por vós.
