Translation into English

May you rejoice in the age, someone sweet.

We are to be fond of you.

As for not having stood -

to be distinguished from men -

but also to accuse -

I, having fled,

am being led away.

Indeed, it seems to me that you are right,

you are bitterly stumbling

having done me no wrong; I

wish to have a word with you

if I may show.

But if not.

English Translation

"...someone greets (you) warmly,
to earnestly strive to please you,
so as not to be placed
in judgment against people,
but also to accuse further—
and I myself to force away,
being led away further.
Indeed, you seem to me rightly
to be bitterly offended at me,
though having suffered no wrong;
I myself (wish) to obtain a hearing before you,
if indeed I shall demonstrate (my case),
but if not..."
