VII

Sunt mihi, sunt lacrimae, sed non est causa doloris.
Est iter ad caelum, sed me gravis impedit aer;
Et qui me genuit, sine me non nascitur ipse.

Peck:

The tears I cause, though there's no cause to mourn,
Still from my upward pathway I am torn,
And without me, my father ne'er was born.

Ohl:

Tears are, yes are, my lot, but not because of grief. Mine is a skyward path, but heavy air impedes me; and he who gave me birth without me is not born himself.

Give up? Here's the answer.
