ANIMULA VAGULA, BLANDULA by PUBLIUS AELIUS HADRIANUS

First Line: MY SOUL, MY PLEASANT SOUL AND WITTY
Last Line: NOR JESTS WILT THOU AFFORD ME MORE.
Subject(s): DEATH; SOUL; DEAD, THE;
My soul, my pleasant soul and witty,
The guest and consort of my body,
Into what place now all alone
Naked and sad wilt thou be gone?
No mirth, no wit, as heretofore,
Nor Jests wilt thou afford me more.
