You wandering and winsome little soul,
The body's guest and its companion too,
Into what places now will you depart?
You pale and stiff and naked little thing,
You won't make jokes the way you're wont to do.
Animula vagula blandula
Hospes comesque corporis
Quae nunc abibis in loca?
Pallidula rigida nudula
Nec ut soles dabis iocos.
--The dying poem of the Roman emperor Hadrian, cited in the "Vita Hadriani" of the Historia Augusta
