Brewer's: Animula

Animula, vagula, blandula, Hospes, comesque, corporis; Quæ nunc abibis in loca, Pallidula, rigida, nudula?
The Emperor Hadrian to his Soul
Sorry-lived, blithe-little, fluttering Sprite Comrade and guest in this body of clay, Whither, ah! whither, departing in flight, Rigid, half-naked, pale minion, away?

E.C.B.
