The ghost pirate nods, his spectral grin widening. "Ready it is, then! I'll be givin' away me age with this one—I heard it 'round the campfire as a boy."

He recites:

"I am used to satisfying everyone with sumptuous food;
Therefore a blessed age decided that my four-footed self
Be made lavish, while I am abundantly adorned with pretty coverings.
Robbers are accustomed to plunder me eagerly,
And when what covers me is snatched away, my naked form remains."

If you like, here it is in the original English:

Multiferis omnes dapibus saturare solesco
Quadripedem hinc felix ditem me sanxerat aetas
Esse tamen pulchris fatim dum vestibus orner.
Certatim me praedones spoliare solescunt,
Raptis nudata exuviis mox membra relinquunt

The ghost fixes you with his glowing eye. "What's yer answer, matey?"
