Bump, for the grim reaper has arrived!

First thought that came to me was Marlowe's Dr. Faustus:

O lente, lente currite noctis equi!

Then, checking the spelling, I see Marlowe borrowed it from Ovid. It works on two levels.

I respect anybody who can quote Marlowe or Ovid, but my Latin is not strong enough to translate.
