ADRIAN'S DYING ADDRESS TO HIS SOUL.

[_]
[Animula—vagula—blandula!
Hospes, comesque corporis!
Quæ nunc abibis in loca?
Pallidula, rigida, nudula—
Nec, ut soles, dabis jocos!]
Tremulous, fluttering, Spirit!—
Guest and companion whose presence
Did enliven the Body, and cheer it—
Whither, Oh whither art flying?—
Mournful—and shrinking—and sighing—
Where be thy jokes and thy pleasaunce?
April 7, 1832.
