[In discourse upon Mortality] . . . Let him represent to his
mind the great, the virtuous, the learned, the magnanimous
Emperor Adrian, trembling on the brink of eternity, in his
soliloquy to his departing spirit:
   Animula Vagula, Ec.
Poor little pretty fluttering thing,
Must we no longer live together?
And dost thou prune thy trembling wing
To take thy flight thou knowst now whither?
. . . [4 more lines, signed] Prior
