De Rerum Natura Lucretius Carus, Titus

Or that the changed body crumbling fell
 
With ruin so entire, because, indeed,
 
Its deep foundations have been moved from place,
 
The soul out-filtering even through the frame, 50
 
And through the body's every winding way
 
And orifice? And so by many means
 
Thou'rt free to learn that nature of the soul
 
Hath passed in fragments out along the frame,
 
And that 'twas shivered in the very body 55
 
Ere ever it slipped abroad and swam away
 
Into the winds of air.
 
For never a man
 
Dying appears to feel the soul go forth
 
As one sure whole from all his body at once,
 
Nor first come up the throat and into mouth;
 
But feels it failing in a certain spot, 5
 
Even as he knows the senses too dissolve
 
Each in its own location in the frame.
 
But were this mind of ours immortal mind,
 
Dying 'twould scarce bewail a dissolution,
