It seems probable that the coincidence between the passages of Thomas
Flatman and Pope, indicated at p. 132., arises from both imitating the
_alliteration_ of the original:
"_Animula, vagula, blandula,_
Hospes, comesque corporis,
Quæ nunc abibis in loca,
_Pullidula, rigida, undula_?
Nec, ut soles, dabis jocos."
Casaubon (_Hist. Ang. Script._, t. i. p. 210. ed. Lug. Bat.) has totally
lost sight of this in his Greek translation.
