Date: Sat 10 Sep 2022Original text:
Plus ego sustinui quam corpus debuit unum.
Tres animas habui, quas omnes intus habebam;
Discessere duae, sed tertia paene peregit.
Translation:
I have sustained more than one body should.
I had three souls, all of which I had inside;
Two left, but the third one almost finished too.
Mother who had twins
