Latin text
Quanti mercenarii in domo patris mei abundant panibus:
ego autem hic fame pereo:
surgam et ibo ad patrem meum et dicam ei.
Fac me sicut unum de mercenariis tuis.
English translation
How many hired servants in my Father's house abound with bread,
and I here perish with hunger!
I will arise, go to my Father and say to Him:
Make me as one of Your hired servants.
