To Jacobus, Presbyter and Monk.
Those who have adorned the vigor of their youth with virtuous labor come happily to old age, gladdened by the memory of their past victories, and freed from further struggle by the arrival of those years. I think your piety possesses this joy, and that you carry your old age the more lightly for the memory of the labors of your youth.
