Dixitque Jacob: Nosti, domine mi, quod parvulos habeam teneros, et oves, et boves fœtas mecum: quas si plus in ambulando fecero laborare, morientur una die cuncti greges.
And Jacob said: My lord, thou knowest that I have with me tender children, and sheep, and kine with young: which if I should cause to be overdriven, in one day all the flocks will die.
Et dic Iacobo: nosce, domino meo, quod parvulo habe tenera, et oves, et boves foetas mecum: que si plus in ambula fac labora, cuncta uno die greges more.
