quod genus est, animo male factum cum perhibetur aut animam liquisse: ubi iam trepidatur et omnes extremum cupiunt vitae reprehendere vinclum; conquassatur enim tum mens animaeque potestas omnis, et haec ipso cum corpore conlabefiunt, ut gravior paulo possit dissolvere causa.
This is what happens when the phrase is used the mind fails or the spirit faints: when all is trepidation, and all those present desire to pull back again the last bond of life. For at that time the intelligence and all the power of the spirit are shaken altogether, and these fail together with the body itself, so that a slightly more serious cause could dissolve them.
