How Do We Know That Saint Jerome was a Single Man?

Because his translation of the Bible
Does not read:
                         In principio creavit
Did you take the garbage out? Deus caelum
Did you empty the cat’s litter box? et

Will you take this to the post office before
It closes? terram terra autem erat
Did you read the water meter? inanis
The girls are coming over for canasta

Can you move all your stuff somewhere else? et
Where is the television remote? vacua
I just vacuumed that floor! et tenebrae
super faciem abyssi et spiritus Dei…
