Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.

Memoria vestra comparabitur cineri, et redigentur in lutum cervices vestræ.
Vulgate
ἀποβήσεται δὲ ὑμῶν τὸ ἀγαυρίαμα ἴσα σποδῷ, τὸ δὲ σῶμα πήλινον.
LXX
Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defences are defences of clay.
