Original text and translations

Latin text Qui consolabatur me recessit a me. Quaero quod volui et non invenio. Fundunt oculi mei lacrimas quia repletus sum amaritudine.

English translation He who was to console me has left me. I seek what I wish for, but don't find it. My eyes pour out with tears for I am filled with bitterness.
