Meaning of vae me, puto, concacavi me




Felipe Lorenzo del Río

vae me, puto, concacavi me
  12

Go for god, I think I've shit on it. These were the last words of Emperor Claudius before he died poisoned by Nero and his mother Agrippina through Locusta with a plate of mushrooms, according to Seneca's satirical work Apocolocyntosis divi Cloni: conversion into god? no, in a pumpkin. The complete Latin expression is this, but do not worry that I translate it: Ultima vox eius haec inter homines audita est , cum maioren sonitum emisisset illa parte , qua facilius loquebatur : "Vae me , puto , concacavi me" . Quod an fecerit , nescio : omnia certe concacavit . These were his last words among men, after releasing a solemn fart: Wow, I think I've shit. I don't know if it was, but he screwed it all up.
