Original 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.
V. 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.
V. 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.
