Ruben, primogenitus meus, tu fortitudo mea, et principium doloris mei; prior in donis, major in imperio.
Ruben, my firstborn, thou art my strength, and the beginning of my sorrow; excelling in gifts, greater in command.
Rubene, primogenito meo, te fortitudine meo, et principio de dolore meo; priore in donos, magna in imperio.
