| ANIMULA VAGULA BLANDULA ... |
DEAR LITTLE WANDERING SPIRIT ... |
| Hadrian | tr. Arthur McHugh |
Animula vagula blandula, hospes comesque corporis, quae nunc abibis in loca, pallidula, rigida, nudula, nec, ut soles, dabis iocos? | Dear little wandering spirit, my body's guest and friend, where are you off to now, so wan, stiff and naked, not jesting, as usual? |
