This is a poem attributed to Palladas from the Greek Anthology, rendered into Latin by Hugo Grotius (1583-1645; you can see his edition of the Greek Anthology in Latin at Google Books). The poem plays on the irony that the word for monk, monachus, is a Greek word with the root monos, meaning "single, sole, alone."
Turba Monachorum
Si monachi, cur tot? Si tot, cur nomine tali?
Solos se dici non bene turba volunt.
