The Emperor Hadrian (76–138): To his Soul
By Roman Poets of the Later Empire
Translation of William Everett
L
My body’s comrade and guest,—
To what place now wilt betake thee,
Weakling, shivering, starveling,
Nor utter thy wonted jest?
Translation of L. P. D.
L
Sweet and gay,
While the body’s friend and guest,—
Whither now again wilt stray?
Shivering, paling,
Rent thy veiling,
And forgot thy wonted jest?
