Original text and translations

Latin text Ego enim inique egi, tu poena mulctaris; Ego facinus admisi, tu ultione plecteris; Ego superbivi, tu humiliaris; Ego tumui, tu attenuaris; Ego praesumpsi vetitum, tu mortis subiisti aculeum; Ego pomi dulcedinem, tu fellis gustasti amaritudinem.

English translation I indeed acted wickedly, You were punished in retribution; I committed the deed, You were beaten in punishment; I exalted myself, You were humiliated; I was full of pride, You were abased; I took what was forbidden, You were subjected to the sharpness of death; I tasted the sweetness of the fruit, You the bitterness of the gall.
