Animula, vagula, blandula
Hospes comesque corporis
Quae nunc abibis in loca
Pallidula, rigida, nudula,
Nec, ut soles, dabis iocos...

P. Aelius Hadrianus Imp.

Oh ... did I forget the translation? Sorry ;(

Little soul, roamer and charmer
Body’s guest and companion
Who soon will depart to places
Darkish, chilly and misty
An end to all your jokes...

Good emperor ... so-so poet.

:’) Once, as a gift, I gave a small cool little book, “The Sweetness of Honey and the Sting of Bees”.
