Retrato doble (double portrait) by Matthäus Merian, 1616.

 Non sum sicut caeteri homines.

(I am not like other people.)

Dives sum et locupletatus et nullius egeo. 

(I am rich and enriched, and I have need of no one.)










 

Ecce ad nihilum redactus sum, et nescivi.

(Behold, I am reduced to nothing, and I did not know.)

Quam miser et miserabilis pauper caecus et nudus essem. 

(How wretched and pitiful, blind and naked I was.)
