HADRIAN, DYING, TO HIS SOUL

[From the same]

Animula vagula blandula,

Hospes comesque corporis,

Quae nunc abibis in loca,

Pallidula rigida nudula;

Nec, ut soles, dabis jocos?

Thou sprite! so charming, uncontrolled,

Guest and companion of my clay,

Into what places wilt thou stray,

When thou art naked, pale, and cold?

Wilt then make merry--as of old?
