	charisgre Number of messages: 256	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.

	charisgre Number of messages: 256	Could you please tell me if the original is poetry or it is a text about burrial, as the title seems to show \"Hydriotaphia\"?
