Excerpt from Vita Heinrici IV Imperatoris: Ex Recencione Wattenbachii in Usum Scholarum, Ex Monumentis Germaniae Historicis Recudi FecitLut de me taceam, qui gloria Romae, decus imperii, lucerna mundi extitit? Erit posthac mihi vita io cunda? Brit absque lacrimis dies aut hora? Aut te cum o dulcissime, potero illius mentionem habere sine ¿etu? Ecce dum scribo, quod dictavit impatien tia doloris, cadunt lacrimae, madent fietu litterae, et quod notat manus diluit oculus. Sed forsan im patientiam doloris mei redarguis, et ut ¿etum meum reprimam, ne forte his qui de morte imperatoris gaudent, innotescat, instruis. Recte me doces, fa teor, sed non possum imperare mihi quin doleam, non possum me continere quin lugeam, licet in me furorem suum exacuant, licet me per membra dis x cerpere cupiant, dolor timere nescit, dolor illatas poemas non sentit. Nec ego solus mortem eius la mentor, hanc Roma plangit, hanc omne Romanum imperium defiet, hanc in commune divites et pau peres praeter insidiatores potentiae vitaeque eius, lugent. Nec mihi privata doloris causa est, publi cam lamentari cladem pietas me cogit. Nam illo recedente, iusticia terras reliquit, pax abiit, fraus¿ in locum fidei subintravit. Chorus laudantium Deum conticuit, solemnitas officii divini siluit, vox exulta.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
