Alkuperäinen teksti - Latina - sic ego componi versus in ossa velim

charis,

What do you guess "componi" could mean here?

It doesn't seem a valid Latin word.

CC: charisgre

then what langyage can it be? i thought it's Latin, but i might have been wrong..
it's from the text of Sir Thomas Brown: "Hydriotaphia"

danuw,

It is Latin indeed, I'm not sure only regarding the word "componi". Just as I'm not an expert in Latin, I asked that to one who is: charisgre.

Thank you

Ii is compono, componere, composui, compositum - it means "to compose (poetry)" - active voice, "to be buried" - passive voice. The form from the text is passive voice, infinitive, present.
This "sic ego componi velim " could be translated "In this way I wish to be buried". I must think a little to the last part because it is not very logic for me and I'll be back with the translation.

Could you please tell me if the original is poetry or it is a text about burrial, as the title seems to show \"Hydriotaphia\"?
