Original text and translations
Latin text
- Amicus meus osculi me tradidit signo:
- Quem osculatus fuero, ipse est, tenete eum:
- Hoc malum fecit signum, qui per osculum ad implevit homicidium.
- Infelix praetermisit pretium sanguinis, et in fine laquaeo se suspendit.
- Bonum erat illi, si natus non fuisset homo ille.
- Infelix praetermisit pretium sanguinis, et in fine laquaeo se suspendit.
English translation
- The sign by which my friend betrayed me was a kiss:
- He whom I kiss, that is he: hold him fast.
- He who committed murder by a kiss gave this wicked sign.
- The unhappy wretch repaid the price of blood and in the end hanged himself.
- It had been better for that man if he had never been born.
- The unhappy wretch repaid the price of blood and in the end hanged himself.
