Applaud friends, the comedy is over. (Said as he was dying)

Friends applaud, the comedy is over.

Applaud my friends, the comedy is over...
[on his death bed]

Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est.

(Applaud, my friends, the comedy is over.)

[Said on his deathbed]

I joyfully hasten to meet death. If it come before I have had opportunity to develop all my artistic faculties, it will come, my hard fate notwithstanding, too soon, and I should probably wish it later - yet even then I shall be happy, for will it not deliver me from a state of endless suffering?

Nothing is more intolerable than to have admit to yourself your own errors.
