Also // Et hoc:
SOPIANT TE CARMINE ANGELORUM CHORI.

I'm writing in Latin hoping for correction, and not because I'm confident in how I express myself. Latinè scribo ut ab omnibus corrigar, non quod confidenter me exprimam.

Me paenitet, MathaeeLatine, quod aliter quam vis significat id quod proposuisti (scilicet CHORI ANGELORVM TE IN REQVIEM CANANT). Nisi fallor, TE CANANT ita vult dicere: te collaudant vel te in requiem discessisse [defectivo modo] canant.
I fear, MathaeusLatinus, that what you have means something different. Unless I'm mistaken, TE CANANT means "they sing about you" or "they sing of you ['your having passed', elliptically] to rest".
"Arma virumque cano"
