Id cinerem aut manes credis curare sepultos?
virgil— Think you these tears, this pompous train of woe,
Are known or valued by the ghosts below?Line 34 (translated by John Dryden).Variant translations:Do you think that spirits care
For their ashes or their tombs?Thinke you, ghost's buried, ashes dead,
Care much how we alive are sped?Do you think that this can affect the shade or ashes of the buried dead?Think you that cold ashes and the buried dead regard these your vows and promises?
