Multas per gentes et per aequora vectus advenio
has miseras ,frater, ad inferias
Ut te postremo donarem munere mortis
et mutam nequiquam alloquerer cinerem
quandoquidem fortuna mihi tete abstulit ipsum
Heu miser indigne frater adempte mihi
Nunc tamen interea haec, prisco quae more parentum
tradita sunt tristi munere ad inferias
Accipe fraterno multum manantia fletu
atque in perpetuum, frater, ave atque vale !
(Vergilius)

Through nations and seas have I come,
to carry out this wretched funeral, brother
That at last I may give you this final gift in death
and that I may speak in vain to silent ashes
Since fortune has borne yourself away from me
Oh, poor brother, snatched unfairly away from me
Now, though even these,which from antiquity and custom of our parent
have been handed down, a gift of sadness in the rites
Accept them, with many brotherly tears
and for eternity, my brother, hail and farewell !
(Virgil)
