Date: Mon 27 Dec 2021Original text:
Cum proprii generis viginti quattuor horis,
Unusquisque creatur. Non ego solus adesse
Possum, sed neque perficiar nec forte creabor,
Semper decursis nisi in ordine quattuor annis.
Translation:
With the twenty-four hours of my kind,
Everyone is created. I cannot exist
Alone, but I will neither be caused nor created by chance,
Only in order, always with the lapse of four years.
On the bissextile day
